Has anybody in here done a Rendezvous traverse?
I turn old on the 21st. I'm heading to the Methow to celebrate. Might have the opportunity to get dropped off with my skis in Mazama. I've done the MCT, years ago, and I've gone up into the Rendezvous system but haven't crossed it. Wondering if anybody in here has done this and has any suggestions about which route to take?

Too late to be of benefit.
Most of my skis point downhill.
As the only X-country skier in the family, the outings are local.
But please report back.

I had planned out for the 21st but the weather forced me to go a day earlier. I had a friend from me off at the furthest trailhead, and I took a circuitous route. Also got a late start, so I was concerned about time and skiing in the dark. Went out too fast. Bonked hard after about 2 hours. DNF. 🥺 ☹️
