Re: 6-9-11 Falling Rocks Canyon

I have some pictures but it's on film.


I saw a few of the slopes but I was low on water and not to mention experience so I didn't want to risk it.

I will head back there early next week or so and try again.


Thanks for the information!

6-9-11 Falling Rocks Canyon

Went up Falling Rocks Canyon today for the first time.

Managed to get up to a waterfall but had no idea where to go to get to Sugarloaf so I headed back down.

Re: PHOTOS - Post or link to pictures!

They were taken on Mt. Baldy about a month ago.

I use film because my classic SLRs are ridiculously durable in all conditions.

Heavier but worth it.

p.s

How did you get the pictures to show!?

I used the img function but it didn't show up.

Re: Mt Baldy this week?

I was up there today and for most of the way up, it is knee-deep snow but near the top, it is very slick with ice. I took the west side approach and wore crampons all the way up. Snow shoes would've been perfect, however, I am waiting for the REI sale to get some. To say that it was tough with just ...

Re: BALDY - Archive of Mt. Baldy-related Discussions

I grew up hiking Mt. Baldy but just started getting into mountaineering so that I can hike it in the winter as well.

I have crampons, helmet, ice axe, trekking poles (Craiglist prices!!) and would love to some advice, tips or info about mountaineering in general and meet ups.

Thanks!
