"Day 7 of my JMT section hike. After failing to climb Goddard in the morning, I packed up camp and headed across Muir Pass. There was a surprising amount of snow on the south side of the pass which made heading up to Black Giant pass trickier than expected. I ended up climbing the face from a more northern line than I had anticipated which meant steeper and looser talus. The struggle up to 13,000ft was worth though; the view from this summit, as described by Secor, is indeed "swell"." — edg • Aug 9, 2019

"Black Giant was the 5th of 7 peaks climbed during an 8 day backpacking trip from North lake to South lake.I could see north all the way to the Ritter range and south all the way to Mt. Whitney. Just towering over LeConte canyon. Absolutely fabulous views across the high sierra." — DerekJayRichardson • Sep 25, 2014

"Left camp at 9:30 a.m., hit the peak at 11:30 a.m. Left the peak at 12:15 and was back at camp by 2:00. I hated every part of getting to the peak and every part of coming back down. It was extremely steep and very lose rock. I honestly believed we were going to trigger a rock slide. But I did love the natural high of conquering the peak!" — MoneyPenny • Jul 11, 2014
