I'd think the route as indicated would be adequate for hiking, though the usual multitude of wilderness hazards do exist and could kill or injure you. If the issue is figuring out where Darling Pass is, perhaps I could upload another section of 7.5 min. Map that shows that. Won't have time to do that for a few days. That said, If you can't figure out the route using the maps as reference to 7.5 min USGS topographic maps, perhaps you're under-qualified for this sort of off-trail hiking? Also, please know there is no guarantee on the accuracy or safety of information provided here at WildSnow.com, you use this information at your own risk. Have a great trip!
