Great trip all the way to your goal. I agree with tomba-- from your photo south from the summit it looks super clear! Kaweah Peaks in the distance easily seen. WE look forward to seeing your pictures from climbing in the far south one day... or have you already been all around the Kern - Kaweah area?

I love the color of that high lake near Lamarck Col. Is it one of the Schober Lakes-- which is it exactly gazelle? Thanks, Harlen.

i have done some Kaweah area trips one was the meetup 2015 in Kaweah basin, did some peaks on way in. I think I did a trip report for that. another trip I did Black Kaweah. Both trips had weather so didnt get as many peaks as I wanted!
