Mount Kaweah Day 1: Approach

The cold front we were waiting for arrived this afternoon. The wind picked up a bit especially up higher, the smoke blew out, and lenticular clouds formed over the crest. Vogelsang Peak was quite easy. From the trail, some boulder hopping, 400' up an easy gully, and then a 300' wander through scrubby pines to the class 3 summit block. The summit had a nice view of the Cathedral Range and North Yosemite. No summit register. Encountered one other party at lovely Bernice Lake. We managed to get a NWS forecast for Tuolumne Meadows on the summit of Vogelsang which called out a new challenge: lows in the low 20s / high teens tonight and tomorrow night, at Tuolumne Meadows, 2,000' below us. So one would expect low/high teens for the next two nights. Not very comfortable with the three season gear.
