Thanks for the report and pictures Tom. I wanted to use that old trail last time but couldn't even find it in the light. I ended up hiking up the waterfall and around that area for my acclimatization hike before Whitney.
Thanks for taking one for the team.
Your report also reminds me of how awesome the mountaineers were back in the days. No trail, no Internet for directions, no people along the way for help or guidance...how awesome those guys and gals were!
