Parking lot empty at 11:30 am
I knew I was close seeing sawed off log on Kings JR, never saw before
One of the junctions again, similar to last weekend
Looking down junction
blowdown ,not sure which way I was pointing
wrong scree field
go this way
scotty/dog timber sale tree marker
looking down correct scree field, came up this way
scree field tops out here and soon connects to Wilson River Trail which I flagged a few weeks ago
going up West Ridge somewhere, very slowly trying not to cliff out
view of Kings MT ridge that holds the Kings trail, Kings JR might be in this as well
viewpoint along West Ridge Kings off trail scrmble
Cliffed out, stopped for about 30 minutes, finally went west to get around, very slow here for me...
Cliffed out area again from another try, spent at least 45 minutes being cliffed out on this hike
view of West side of Kings from West Ridge scramble
Another view of Kings MT from West Ridge
Another view point, LOTS of views on this scramble once you get out of Lester Creek drainage
Yet another killer viewpoint
Got up to a point where it finally relented and went down to small ridges in places, you can see from Kings summit this thin ridge
thin ridge drops off on right
thin ridge drops off on left
getting closer to Kings Mt summit area
Still another view on this ridge scramble!
Up near Kings summit box, looking at West Ridge I just did and those thin ridges...
Actually this is the one near Kings summit box, previous picture is on ridge I think...
Looking on way down Kings at one of the fields I ascended, went through those downed trees
another look of way I came up
not sure
