Don't let the over cautious get you down - off trail travel offers rewards commensurate to the trouble, and you're as likely to break your ankle in your backyard as you are on the rocks. So don't fret. The area south of the Kings-Kern divide is super easy to travel over, (not a talus fest), and very pretty. Harrison pass is very steep scree. No fun at all to try to go up, but with gaiters very do-able sliding down. Ice is not an issue in Sept. It's a spectacular area. Have a great time.

On the uphill side of the 2nd meadow the pack trail to Harrison cuts off the main trail near a fallen log. It's kinda hard to see but it's there. You know you're on it if you start a steep traverse up on what seems to be a well used game trail. This trail puts you up above the talus slope. If you can find this and are otherwise good at route finding you'll get there no problem.
If you go past the 2nd meadow and get to a talus slope. You went too far.
