comprehensive report on Black Kaweah I have ever seen! Congratulations!! So you came in from the south - don't climbers
normally come in from the Giant Forest and Bearpaw Meadow??
I always wanted to hike up to Kaweah Gap when I was working for
SEKI in 1994, but I only made it (solo) as far as Moose Lake.
The Big Arroyo Canyon must be really impressive. Thanks & cheers!
... for a fantastic trip report. Ever since I first laid eyes on the Kaweahs from Shepherd's Pass I've wanted to climb them. The detail in your report answers lots of the questions I had about what it would be like! Awesome!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read it and comment. I spent a lot of time on the report, but in a way, it was a second chance to relive the experience (and without the mosquitoes and the pain of humping a pack over hill and dale).
Adjectives aside, this one is one of the best I've read on SP and I will return when I have some pure time so I can "savor" the full story and pics properly.

Re: This is the mostThank you. Big Arroyo is really something. Like I said--takes a lot effort to get there, but it is worth it.
