| An easy, but long, walk up sand and scree to the top. Not the most amazing route up but an awesome view from the top! | |

| Party- 7 Length of trip - 28 days Interesting climb, nothing like the Northwest Sierras. Or the Northwest for that matter. Still, great views. The descent was fun, all off what we climbed up was scurry run-able until the band of woods, went down that, hit a boulder field, and found our base camp in a matter 2 hours after the summit. Ascent probably took 4. It solidified that Muir was a bad ass for doing 6 MPH over that type of terrain. My favorite person in the logs was the guy who decided to do LSD on the summit. And some dude from 1933 on a piece of wood we found. Some OG's that for sure. Hit an amazing sunset on the way down. Scarlet Vibrancy. | |

| Mountain Impulse | From Big Arroyo Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2008 | |
| Tom Becht and I had a marvelous day for our climb up the SW slopes from Big Arroyo. We then contoured around to the base of 2d Kaweah. Tom went for it and was successful, but I decided to pursue camp chores at the Big Arroyo and save myself for big, Black Kaweah the next day. Tom and I noted that we were the first party to summit Big Kaweah this year (assuming that everyone who gets to the top signs the register). | |

| Great hike from the Big Arroyo with Augie on a perfect day. Went on to do Second Kaweah but scrubbed plans for Red Kaweah. On to Black tomorrow! | |

| Five day, local SC, climbing/backpack trip, led by me. My partner, then, has now passed away from Lyme disease (bit on another trip), R.I.P. We bagged Lippincott and Sawtooth (North), also. Lots of mosquitoes, and plenty of total gain. Shot six rolls (@ 36 exp./roll) of Kodachrome. No one has ever wanted to go back there, with me. Started from Mineral King, over Glacier Pass, then BR Pass. Easy to cross at the Big Arroyo. Does the peak to the northwest seem a bit higher, at least visually (see photo), to anyone else but me ? I do really wonder about height determinations, back then in 1952, and still upheld, I think. | |

| On a chilly and very windy day, there were beautiful views to the east, with clouds creeping in from the west. Just me and my brother Fritz - we have been bagging Sierra peaks together for 35 years. See pictures at http://community.webshots.com/user/langenbacher | |
