EISPIRATEN

Nevermind, I found it, up at the top by the log-in/log-out, I was blind but now I see!

Maybe I have a mental or visual block, Is there a search feature? I'm not seeing it.

Just askin, great site, thanks.

I joined Patrick for the screening of Eiger Nordwand. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie did a good job of showing the state of climbing in 1936. The love story part was a little cheesy. I read an excerpt from Heinrich Harrier's "The tragedy of Toni Kurz" a few years back in "The Armc...

Kathy,

Wow, great pictures and nice glissade video. It looks like there's still quite a bit of snow. I'm hoping it lasts a couple more weeks, I'm planning to take my skis up on April 10th for some spring crud skiing. It looks like a little dirt and rock are starting to get exposed in a few places.

Patrick,

Very well done, both the trip and the report! Great pictures too!

My friend lost a 180 cm K2 Shuksan ski with at Dynafit Vertical TLT binding somewhere near the summit of Baldy. On March 7th we were seperated in a windy, white-out. While trying to navigate and get his bearings one ski got away and disappeared down-slope into the abyss of the white-out. My friend w...

Jim, My estimate is Baldy X 2.0. I went with a group in January on an attempt to reach the summit of San G. Although a few of us had been there on previous summer trips it was our first try in the snow. We parked at the Jenks Lake trailhead and headed up the South Fork trail. When we got to the Doll...

MMM (MightyMouseMountaineer), I've talked with Phil a few times since our trip to Baldy. I could write an account of his experience based on what he told me. I'll draft it and get him to read it then I'll post it. We still need to get a fix on where he was so we can get back there on a clear day and...

Please let it be known that a Ham radio was used by the Hut host to make the distress call from the Hut at about 2:30 p.m., at the request of the missing skier's friends. Other Hams were talking on the Catalina radio tower (repeater) frequency and the host broke in. I believe this was the first con...

I'd like to share this account as reported on SBSAR's website: Hiker Survives in Snow Cave Before Rescue Monday, March 8, 2010 at 22:38 Bob Gattas On Sunday, March 7 a hiker got seperated from his partner about noon on the summit of Mt. Baldy in 10 ft visibility and high winds. He had never been the...

no compass, no map, no phone, no GPS, no spot, no radio, no familiarity with the area to my knowledge. When I was near the ski hut on my way down yesterday, I counted 32 people climbing up into the storm. I remember thinking how many of those people knew what they were doing and how many are just d...

- Nice work Ty on your first winter Ascent of Mount Baldy, keep up the great work. :D Not only Ty's first winter ascent, but his first ascent of Baldy in any season! O.K., I am admitedly envious. I'm zero-for-two on previous winter attempts for Baldy. I wanted to join my friend Ty and my brother Jo...
