Appreciate the annotated shot from BG’s summit. Was up there 15 months ago and knew much of what I was looking at, but not all. IB is such a cool area.

In reply to Steve.Thanks! There is a use path along the lakes in Darwin Canyon. It's occasionally difficult to follow through talus or slab sections, but it generally runs close to the lakeshore on the north side of the lakes throughout. The use path becomes well defined and easy to follow from Darwin Bench down to the JMT. Above the lakes, various use path extend most of the way up to Lamarck Col, but since it was dark on this last trip I ended up losing any paths in the sand.

1) Thanks for this blog, Leor. As I start exploring the Sierras, its’ an invaluable reference.
2) Hats off for being able to pull that sort of effort/results over this terrain. Truly impressive.
3) Finally – a question for you: Is there an actual trail above the Darwin Lakes? I was out there this weekend and coming out of the Canyon I just ended up scrambling along the water’s eastern edge at the fourth and third lakes & western edges of the remaining Lakes down to the bench … wondering for next time if there was an actual route I missed?

Love where you go, and especially since I’ve had my eye on the IB for quite some time (but over, say, a week, not 1/2 a day).

The only thing I’d ask is if you might take just a wee bit of time now and then to label a few more pics so that we know what we’re looking at.

Thanks! Keep up the great work.
