I've also heard that black flies are out in full force lately…

Go all the way up nub peak there is one narrow section between the nub and nub peak but the rest is just hiking. And the 360 pano from the top. Windy Ridge is a cool hike taking you up on the ridge over OG lake. At wonder pass hike up to the top of the ridge for a fantastic view. There is also a trail to the left that goes down to a good marvel lake viewpoint
Are you going in and out sunshine? Where are you camping. I'd recommend pushing to OG lake day one as it is beautiful compared to the treed halfway camp at porcupine. If you are going to OG instead of porcupine you can also stay on the highline through the Golden valley. Rather than through the trees at the bottom of the valley. The valley of the rocks sucks and goes on forever but outside of that it's one of the best hikes. Bring some cash for beer at the lodge in the afternoon.
Make sure you fill up with water at the pools at citadel pass and have enough to get to OG lake. As there isn't any water if you stay on the highline.
