Where to carrying a plb and why?

Sounds like you have a great first section. Highly reco hitting Marion Lake prior to popping over to Dumbbell. It was probably the coolest place on the SHR IMHO.

Got it on the stream crossing example. Still stress the need to keep it secure.

Make sure you post a trip report. This will be a really cool trip.
