i was on cucamonga peak last saturday morning and there was 1 patch of snow on the trail, and there wasnt even 5 feet of it, still easily passable to the side.

if there is snow on the 3 T's trail, its probably a 2 foot detour around it

yes most definately scorched!

i thought they were llamas at first

or maybe she had 5 lamb, 11 ewe and 4 ram. its 6 pm yesterday, and after me and 3 of my friends are down for a dunk at the falls. we head up the slippery stones and i spot a llama 50 feet up the creek. "what the fuck is a llama doing in the Cucamonga Wilderness?" i ask myself. "what t...

the water tank is 100 yards above the site of Ye Alpine Tavern, at Mt Lowe Camp, then follow the pipe that comes out while traversing the side of the gully uphill and the pipe leads to the spring, which is that tunnel cut out of the hill. a steel door is blocking the tunnel. if it was really hot, yo...

i vote that idlehour trail camp is the creepiest place in the San G's

there was a register that says 'mt chapman' in sauder, and its lodged in a tree knot on the east side of the nice sitting log.

mt zion should not be called a mountain. its a 10 foot hill on a ridge with its bushes whacked for helicopters

nice place for picnic tho

that water was delicious! i probably drank 2 gallons of it


and yeah thats why i got a nice bike lock

in Huntington Beach at 4am, ride our bikes 15 miles to downtown long beach, catch the metro lines to Lake Ave in Pasadena, ride a bus up Lake, walk 2 miles down Alta Dena Ave, go up from Eaton to Henninger flats, then to Idlehour Trail Camp, then up some canyon to Lowe Camp, climb Mt Lowe, sleep, de...

start in sequoia, take the High Sierra Trail to Whitney, and come back to sequoia thru colby pass, deadman canyon, elizabeth pass or silliman, back to lodgepole

crampons would be usefull at 8,200

we went to the renaissance faire in irwindale to get some extra credit points for high school, and we got tired of that because everyone was wasted but us, so we headed up to chantry flats. couldnt find a parking space, until we found one that is, then we went down santa anita, passing probably 3 do...

we get to South fork trailhead at midnight monday night (technically tuesday) and take off towards dry lake. At poopout hill we see a full moon lighting up our target, Mt San Gorgonio. We put the crampons on at South Fork Meadows and head up that little canyon. We set up camp at Lodgepole Spring at ...

this canyon isnt actually the middle fork of lytle creek. the middle fork comes from the the northwest at the "third creek crossing camp" the canyon to the south (with the 3 beautiful lower falls and the 2 upper, mossier falls, was unnamed, that is until i discovered it a couple years ago....

We get there at 8:30, 2 other cars in the parking lot and the bottom hut/station is closed. we were pissed. we hiked up to the Village(m...

if this new storm is so, the snow levels will be 2,000 ft!

thats low

i'll see you guys on the lifts at thunder mtn this friday!

the only south-facing snow i saw yesterday was on the very tip top of Baldy and some little crack on Harwood.

lowest north facing i'd say is 7,500. last sunday it was about 6,900 on the north face near islip saddle, and it;s been a week soo...

i hope you brought crampons

looks like we shouldnt climb it due to the high probability of dislodging rocks landing on the road.

why must the san gabriels be 15 million years old?

everything is all loose and chossy
