I have used water 100yrds lower down than that blue cross at this time of the year, and there is a huge tarn at the top of pinnacle spur that must be two feet deep and 50 ft across.
I still carry water but the amount all depends on how water dependant you are, I have a bad habit of using very little water, sometimes a glass or less a day and I think it's a bad habit to have as often a dehydration headache wakes me in the middle of the night.
