Seems like this is the key to getting started. Just grab a map and a compass and get out there. I remember being intimidated by all the technical seeming aspects, and avoided engaging at all. Then I just gave it a whirl and found it fun and much easier than expected.

I especially enjoy mount Great Cockup, and Bob's Law. We got to know a little section of map very well, also with a focus on efficiency.  See the skinny waterway on the left? That's three finger cove. There's a helpful trail marked on the map, starting at a typical water taxi drop off. Of course the trail is totally buried this time of year, but the lake is also frozen, so easy travel to the cabin. Thus we brought loads of glamping gear, 2 burner stove, fresh eggs, the works. Probably around 350 lbs for 4 adults and a toddler. Which was top of the mind when the boat starts pulling in to a beach on the north side of the "wrist" of the cove (right by the east-most *). Even our hoped for drop off we knew we'd have to go over the 100 ft contour, so we weren't completely unprepared. Still, pulling sleds we had to seek out a line that wasn't too steep, in addition to wanting to minimize distance and vert. I did 5 carries over two of the more treacherous gullies. Calculating our route is left as an exercise to the reader.
