Hey John! Will look forward to TRs when you are able! Punjabi Pk? is that a name for the 8335 complex? If so, that's a fun loop which I've done a few times in hot weather. But I wonder where "Punjabi" came from, or if its a different peak?
Blackrock Well - very nice, no? We went on up to the crest of the Nelson Range from there a few years ago, but did not take the best route - I can advise if anyone goes there. I don't know Pt. of Doom, curious about that one.
For anyone doing Sidewinder, I highly recommend the Willow / Sidewinder loop, though on a short day you then might not have time to fully explore the Sidewinder slots on the way out (and recommend doing it clockwise, as it is easier to fill or shorten your walk out with the number of slots you explore).
I just worked out a trip for late March!
BTW, based solely on lodging availability at SPW, it is going to be a busy spring out there! If you're looking to stay there in March, you may already be SOL, better book ASAP.
