That hike has got to be one of the toughest in the Sierra. Starting at 5900' elevation, and hiking, completely off trail, to 14,383': That's 8,500' of gain -- and loss!! It starts 1000' lower than the Tuttle Creek ascent to Langley.
Hats off to you!
A question: Does the track you supplied on the map show the route through the "7200ft notch"?
Your pictures are just fine. Pictures never do justice to the actual views you see when you are there.
