Amazing! Mt. Silliman was the first mountain I ever climbed. Ever!

I was out for 22-days on that trip, so much fun.

As long as it still happens on a weekend before December 20th then I'm in!

Is this event still on the table by any chance?

You did say anytime.... this weekend I'm free!

Any chance at getting out in the boonies this weekend?

Thanks for the help guys, I'll shoot y'all a post when I have the final details to see if anyone wants to come by.

I'd love to come out and have my noob-ness eliminated. I have fired .22 pistols and shotguns, but never more than a few times. I fired the pistols at an indoor range for a school-wide competition shoot, and fired the shotgun geese hunting on the farm I worked at. Neither of these events had a partic...

To add, I think we can do it faster than my proposed times, look how fast these climbed San Jacinto:

Hey guys, I was reading about a few guys who have started climbing Mountains from their "true" bases and not driving up to a trailhead. I currently leave in Claremont, about 20 miles (I’m guestimating) from the Peak of Mt. Baldy. I have a fall break from school coming up, and I want to do ...

Hey all: I know this is sortof wayy in advance, but my friends and I (just three plus me) are planning on doing a gear/technique trip up Baldy to prepare for Whitney on April 10-11. Will there still be a significant amount of snow? Or at least enough to practice on? I'm really unfamiliar with So-Cal...

Exactly the information I was looking for! Thanks alot.

I'm not quite sure what to call this: A rope that is anchored securely to the top of a section of area to climb. It then hangs down the climbing face and is in front of the climber where he/she can begin climbing. Is that clear? It's not doubled up or anything, just a rope that hangs from the "...

I'll put up some photos soon, Taco on the summit block of Ontario and down-climbing one of those rapells.

I'm down for anytime Saturday as well. I just want to get out and hike sometime before sunday, and then sunday as well.

Could you swing by Claremont?

And I know I'm mooching off y'all, but if anyone's got extra trekking poles I'd be very thankful. I can manage without so if you don't have any, no worries.

And spare a ride for me too

Oh... I was gonna try to steal a place in Taco's vehicle. Anyone wanna come grab me from Claremont?

Wait 8:00 as in 20:00? So hiking in the night? That just makes it better haha. Seeing as I haven't climbed any of these places, you can make the call where to camp. Just lemme know what I need to bring. Pretty standard affair I assume, but do you recommend just a tarp, a tent? I'm not familiar with ...

Late to the party, but I'd be interested in this as well. THanks for posting it up.

I'm in college, so I probably could

Of course, they're a b**** to pack in, and Leave no Trace means we can't just leave them on the mountain when we are done.

I don't think I have anything japanese to bring to the party TBH.

I might be able to snag a whisperlight, or at least fuel, if you guys want to have hot drinks or anything else heated up.

The more the merrier

Great! No drinking for me on a friday, so I won't bail on you this time.

For some reason I feel like it might not be easier... haha I'm down.

If you want to over-night it, I can do Saturday night.

Would anyone be up for a one-day trip up Mt. Baldy this coming Sunday?

Or any peak relatively near Claremont, CA.

Oh hey! I might know him! PM me the name, I worked out with ROTC for awhile. Then my Captain started sending me my own workout schedule... haha

I can't do 18th, sorry. I've been slowly filling up the weekend. I only have 19/20 free now.

Up and back in a day? Or staying the night somewhere along the way?
And I'm totally up for either way, I wanted to get out and hike sometime this weekend

The only problem is.... freshman can't have cars. I live like 15 minutes from Baldy though.

I can do the 19th, but I don't have winter gear so I'd probably just end up slowing you down. I've got backpacking essentials but no mountaineering stuff.

Anyone want to do anything around the Baldy area on these days? I really want to get out and hike sometime because it's our fall break and I don't have a ride home.

Haha well that's just what I use it for. I know alot of my instructors would be mad that I was hanging trash off my pack, so maybe you have it right
