Thanks - this is really helpful. Your pictures make the Bench Canyon route really attractive. Now, I'm hoping that the snow will have melted enough by the end of June to make the high canyons accessible. And I hadn't realized Roper's route went through here. I'll have to dig his book out...

I'm doing a loop of the Minarets/Banner/Ritter this summer and we'll be spending a day up in Stevenson Canyon. I've looked at topos and google earth and am wondering if there is a class 2 or 3 hike over a ridge around Forester Peak or Electra Peak from Blue Lake or Rockabound Lake that drops you down to the bench above Harriet Lake, or down into the cirque of the Lyell Fork of the Merced River.by Jeffrey Olson - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
