Kevin Goldberg and I did this route the summer of 2020 as part of tackling the John Muir Trail northbound. You can read my account:

We also appeared on the John Freakin Muir Podcast to discussion our adventure.

We started with our friend Jose, who had to bail at Rae Lakes due to altitude issues, so that would technically make this a supported effort (I think). Otherwise, it was self-supported. We mailed a resupply bucket to Muir Trail Ranch, and resupplied at Red's Meadow.
