EISPIRATEN

Poetry in motion, bro. Wink

Thank you HJ 8)

Thank you! The chili cans were opened and the contents double bagged. A tad heavy but for $0.99 you cannot beat the 700 calories, 42grams of protein, and 28grams of fat!

Here's another photo just for posterity

The day after my birthday I loaded up our Honda with enough food for 5 days of rock climbing in Tuolumne and another 5 days backpacking in the High Sierra. I had spent many days preparing for this trip and I was itching to get on the road. I left Pasadena at 9:45am. The drive into Tuolumne was uneve...

The summit sign must be pretty new (and it looks very nice to boot). Great looking lunch too! 8)

Other writing assignments and a busy summer schedule have kept me from posting a TR in a long time. Rather than bore you with all the nitty gritty details I will just post a few photos of some recent adventures :D Climbing Trees Mt. Markham hike 2nd Ascent of Mt. Williamson Rime ice in June!? Backpa...

That hike is in my top 5. The lighting looked spectacular!

Great TR. That hike is on my to do list. Bet you didn't see very many people on the trail (besides Baldy). Nice photos of the San Antonio Ridgeline too.

Very cool! Thank you for sharing

I like the idea of approaching from Cooper Canyon - I looked at dropping onto the ridge from Winston Peak and the slog down then up and back didn't appeal (of course it was back in July and pretty hot)..

Would/could you climb on the waterfall? Looked semi decent....

What was in the 75lb pack? Doing some trail work? Some awesome fotos

A little huffy puffy with some nice ladies on the ridge eh? Sounds like a fun hike

This anchor looks really sketchy! Yikes. Fun looking trip! I dig the colors (and the lack of bushwacking too)!

Ha! You guys are funny

Alright I'll throw it away, but only cause you said so.

Glad the knife is still up there though

@michaelmagno - I headed up Saturday the 19th (November). Got on the trail around 11:30am. Were you up there that day? I saw one other set of boot prints but I didn't see anyone...

I took the register on my trip up on November 5th. Someone had failed to put the register back properly (they laid the book on the ground and put the ammo can over the top) and the book was soaking wet and falling apart. I was planning on getting in touch with the Sierra Club and seeing if they kept...

Alder Creek

Big Tujunga area (could get to it from Charlton Flat).

Bummer about the flak on MP although it doesn't surprise me, some climbers should spend more time climbing then writing. Probably just a bunch of crusty old farts

Yea the other one is definitely not as cool. Thanks for putting it up on Mountain Project too. Out of curiosity have you been up to Alder Creek? I've pondered heading up there to check it out...

I've seen the discussions before but can someone post a link on how to post videos please? Thanks

I took the short cut to Windy Gap (7,580' aprox) and hiked to Throop, Baden Powell and back. To my right To my left Lots of Rime Ice too! Even down at Windy Gap. I had icicles forming on the brim of my hood and my water froze. The temperatures dropped down into the low teens with wind chill. I wish ...

My brother and I climbed the cool crack on the other side of the huge boulder and pulled the gnarly looking roof.



There is another large formation up the road a bit. If you park where the destroyed gate is and walk due east you cannot miss it.

Ahhh thanks very helpful. Bear season sure goes a long time, might be why I haven't seen any in the San Gabriels yet...

The shooting you heard, could it have been coming from Burro Canyon Shooting Park? (when I did Rattlesnake Peak in early September I heard a lot of shooting - I'm pretty certain it was coming from the shooting park) Or was it because of hunting season? Anyone know what is "in" season right...

So on Friday myself, Chad & Annie drove up to Lone Pine and found a nice spot in the Alabama Hills. The moon was bright and around 3/4 full so we climbed by moonlight on a Jackie's Rack (a fun 5.6 hand crack) while watching the shooting star show (we saw one falling star that left a huge green ...

Whatever you do do not touch it. When I was a kid I was climbing out at Buttermilks and saw a furry red one and tried to pick it up. The most painful sting I've ever experienced. Horrific.

Phew I was half expecting a breast ball. Looked like a great trip, climbing rocks, throwing rocks, sleeping on rocks... Good times!

Ha! Good one Taco Leprechaun video? I'm curious...

So has anyone found a pot of gold up there yet!?





The amazing rainbow last night (followed shortly by an impressive lightning storm).

Yes it was most definitely more comfortable than LAV!
