MCKEAN LAKES to the BLACK PRINCE/BOR COL

Earl Whipple mentioned it as a way to access the south end of the traverse of the Valhallas. This route never occurred to me and seems like a complicated way to get there.
I have never heard of anyone doing it.

First, go up the McKean Lakes Trail (4700′) to McKean Lakes (6900′), then through the basin to McKean Pass to the SE of Woden and “Little Woden” (7900′). Trend NE and east over the divide between Woden and Hoder Creeks with several ups and downs. Then contour NE and north around the west side of Black Prince into the Bor/”Buri”/Black Prince col. Descend due east and turn north to pass Rocky Lakes and the south end of the Valhalla Traverse.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
