Can anyone who's done both routes tell me how SDW compares to the Trans-Cambrian way? For a two day/overnight wild camp expedition? Similar sort of average speeds or not?
(I'm sure there'll be a thread about Trans-Cambrian somewhere but I can't find it)

maybe it's not what you want to hear, but I think both SDW and Trans-Cambrian way are not great routes. TCW especially doesn't go near logical resupply and sleeping/overnight points, and both route over every hill in sight, rather than along magical ridgeline singletrack.

Have to agree on SDW having done it last Thursday. It doesn’t exactly flow.

Good challenge though, to manage it without easy resupply. I think I’ll go back to do it the other way at some point in spring.
