FKT: Drew Antonisse - Mineral King Loop (CA) - 2020-08-22

Beginning at the Sawtooth Trailhead in Mineral King at 5:41 AM, I traveled north (clock-wise) on the Mineral King Loop. I carried all of my own gear and nutrition (minus water) along the way making this an unsupported attempt. I summited Timber Gap, Blackrock Pass, and Franklin Pass before returning to the Sawtooth Trailhead. Water was plentiful along the way and I utilized a Katadyn BeFree filter. This is a beautiful route with stunning views of the Mineral King Valley and surrounding ranges. Full trip report will be provided later to aid other attempts on this route.
