Hard to tell. He said he was staying 2 days in Nine Lakes, and his present position is on one of the side trips he indicates on his route map. He was camped right below PP, and its hard to believe he would not have looked closer before backing off. He really wanted to do that route. He could be off to bag Eagle Scout or maybe a Kaweah or two, any of which have class 2 and 3 approaches from upper Big Arroyo. See what happens between present position and Arroyo Junction.
