RE: High Sierra Adventures - The Kaweah Peaks Loop
13 days of such an adventure? WOW! Can I ask how did you do it with food and water? I see that you had almost no equipment. What an achievement!
You seem to be very lucky with the weather. The mountains seemed to be treating you well.
I'm sorry to hear about Rogue and his ear accident. I'm glad that he didn't get hurt any worse. It is such a pity that he didn't join you on the way to the summit.
The scenery is breathtaking. You show us some amazing photos. The terrain looks pretty rough but you managed very well. So many lose rocks!
Thank you for sharing! Cheers to such adventures!
Ya 13 days is pretty long even for me! It's A LOT of food to carry, the backpacks were definitely heavy at the start. Fresh clean water is fairly abundant in the High Sierra so we usually never have to carry more than 1 or 2 liters at a time. Besides the quick little snow the first night and the really cold nights towards the end we really were spoiled with nice weather on this trip. That's not usually the case in the Sierras. The weather up there can be really unpredictable, sun can be shining, clear blue sky, then clouds come in, huge thunderstorm hits, and just dumps rain and hail, and then by the afternoon the suns back out and the clouds completely disappear. You just never know up there, but we got lucky!
