Anyone interested in joining for Bowman-Kintla backcountry 8/1-5?

Greetings All. I won the backcountry permit lottery this year, being awarded a slot on the first day permits opened. Lucky me! I chose to do the Bowman-Kintla hike over four nights, just because I had the pick of the litter. My hiking companion just cancelled so I'd be doing the hike solo. Ideally, someone who is an experienced hiker with GNP familiarity, non-sketchy, and generally enjoyable to be around (like me). I also hike fairly fast. I have (4) permits so a single person, couple, or someone willing to share a tent with a friend would work as two tents are permitted.

Here's my itinerary:

8/1 Bowman (BOW)

8/2 Hole in the Wall (HOL)

8/3 Boulder Pass (BOU)

8/4 Upper Kintla Lake (UPK)

8/5 exit Kintla

If interested, please DM me and tell me about yourself, at least your hiking experience and comfort level so we can get the conversation started. I should arrive in Polebridge either 7/30 or 7/31 and plan to pick up the permit on 7/31. Thanks!
