Not in the cirque but we hiked up over the devide at up to 11000' west to east from meadow lake to timco lake down to golden lake on the other side then paddled all the way down to bull lake resevoir and didnt see enough to bother with a headnet

Just back as well. Worse than Ive seen them but previous two trips were basically nothing. Netting and deet in morn and night. Some days were low. Others somewhat annoying.
I returned from the Cirque about a week ago, and they were unbearable...wore long sleeves, pants, a headnet, and 98% deet, and still had about 40 bites. They were biting well up pingora, only let off around the last pitch.
