    I have been thru there - "The Rollercoaster" is a PITA - if you are not ready for it, it will kick your butt hard and discourage you and put you WAY behind schedule - I would personally push a little harder on Day 1 to make it to Blackburn Trail Shelter - decent sleeping accommodations - food/drink/water. When I went thru there - I started where you did, and quit by the time I made it to Bear's Den Hostel - halfway thru the 'coaster. I came back from the other direction to finish.

    Good Luck - we (my brother and me) are headed back out - starting at Compton Gap and headed south to Big Meadows
