Fri 8/27-Labor Day 9/6 Seeking partner for 11-day BP in the most remote and least visited areas of Kings Canyon NP! 2 options: on-trail, or with some XC.
On-trail: Cedar Grove / Pinchot Pass / Mather Pass / Middle Fork Kings (MF Kings) / Tehipite Valley / Wishon Res.
Trail + XC: Cedar Grove / Granite Basin / Cirque Crest High Route / Cartridge Pass / Mather Pass / Middle Fork Kings (MF Kings) / Tehipite Valley / Wishon Res.
Aug 6, 2010 at 12:56 pm #1635407I did most of your option 2. It has my favorite place in the Sierra, Marion Lake. You are in for a treat.
Aug 10, 2010 at 11:55 am #1636406I'd really like to do a trip like this but need to come out by Sep. 4 to catch a plane on Sep. 5. Would it be possible to shift the dates a couple of days earlier? I've done a lot of backpacking in the Sierra, including Cartridge Pass and 11-night trips, and worked on a bunch of Sierra Club trips and also a bit for Sequoia Park before becoming a university biologist. I'm 57, and it sounds like you're a little stronger than I am now, but I still like 2-3rd class scrambling and climbing and should be good for, say, 13-mile moves on trail and can certainly go cross-country. If this sounds like it might not slow you down too much, would you please email me at [email protected] to discuss further?
Aug 13, 2010 at 4:39 pm #1637321Sorry for the delay, been on a 6-day in Blackcap Basin/Bench Valley. I will email you, and we can talk! Keep those posts coming, thanks!
Aug 13, 2010 at 5:48 pm #1637329PMed you… 8/27 to 9/5
Aug 21, 2010 at 12:58 pm #1639296I'd be interested in tagging along on part of the trip, if there is room. It looks like a great trek.
Aug 22, 2010 at 10:15 am #1639484I PM you Anthony…
Aug 24, 2010 at 7:36 pm #1640202I found a partner for a 10-day trip, leaving tomorrow, but in a completely different area.
So I am still looking for s.o. who wants to go up (or down) the Middle Fork of the Kings, perhaps late this season or even next year. Including some XC, maybe along the Monarch Divide using Cartridge Pass. Or that could be 2 different trips. I'll be gone for 10 days, will respond when I get back. -
