yeah i have, its a really tough hike up (i packed in about 55 pounds), the hike in will take you about 2 hours or 2.5 hours, but it's all uphill and REALLY tiring. Once ur up, its another 45 min. hike into the bowl, which is an even steeper hike, but you can drop some stuff off before you do it...the bowl is the bowl...have fun
