My friend, who is a very fit backpacker and climber, got HORRIBLE altitude sickness going over the pass. I had to carry his pack for him the rest of the way and he needed two full days to recover. Unless you can run a marathon, this is probably not the lake for you. There are a lot of other great lakes in the Gore range that are a lot more reasonable objective to tick off of your list. I can say that because I have been to about 75% of all of the major lakes in this wilderness area.
