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".
