Great vids, you're helping me build a healthy "want to do" list. How do you get your gpx tracks when you do these route finding trips... map them out yourself, or download from somewhere?
I'm glad you are wanting to get out there and check out these peaks! They are so beautiful. I do not download gpx tracks, I research, read trip reports, and use gaia gps and google earth to go into my adventures as prepared as possible. peakbagger.com has alot of gpx tracks that I will usually look at, but in the moment I use my own judgement because I am in charge of my own safety. I saw some people on a peak this year who were religiously following a gpx track that took up a really steep snow chute when I went to the side and it was much safer. I also have a "How to Be a Peakbagger" vid that goes into more detail about my process before and during adventures if you want to check it out, thanks for watching my videos!
Live in Fresno, Dinkey Lakes Wilderness is beautiful! So many lakes in such a small area. Have you done Kaiser Peak in Kaiser Wilderness above Huntington Lake?
That is wet long approach. Can't remember the big peak out in middle but that is where I go. Really confusing THs, out of Courtright. Once out in the middle aka big mountain it is awesome area. West side approaches are longer. Clover Meadow is my ho to Start point. Or Sequoia.
Great hike and super cool panorama / entertaining video - congrats
Thanks! I was thinking about you while looking at Goddard, I'll be there soon.

Love your video and the attention to detail. I had my first visit to Courtright area trails and climbing last weekend. Glorious.
Thank you so much! Thats rad you made it out by Courtright, its a great place.
The Lyell pano is right above Clover Meadow North. Goddard is the peak I couldn't remember. Great one.
