EISPIRATEN

Shuttling to and inside the park, as well as the heat, slowed us down a bit, but we had a good day. We had originally planned to hike fewer miles on Day 1, but most of campsite before Bearpaw were taken.

Awesome memories. The Mount Dana descent is a beautiful image full of various textures and colors. And that picture of you and your son is pretty great. looks like a great year. Thanks! Just realized that it may not be obvious, but if you click on gallery title or any of the pics above, it takes yo...

My wife and I are thinking about car camping Friday night. I'd prefer the campsite being near a place I can hike early Saturday morning and possibly get some nice sunrise shots. After breakfast, we'd hopefully be able to go on a nice family hike. Any suggestions regarding where we should camp? I'm h...

Does anyone use collapsible or foldable bottles? I've been using the Hydrapak Stash for the last month, at home, work, the gym and on the trail. So far I have been impressed. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/www.hikinggeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/IMG_4276-365x365.jpg Gear Review: Hydrap...

I was hoping to climb the Baldy Bowl, but the conditions weren't good Saturday. Here is a link to my TR and photos: San Antonio (Mt.

If you look at the photo where San G is covered is clouds, I think you can see Yucaipa Ridge in front of the clouds.

I snapped a few pics going to and from work yesterday:

Thanks! It was a fun day.

We hiked to Christmas Tree Hill. We were hoping to use our snowshoes, but the snow if melting very fast. :cry: Here is a link to the trip report: Christmas Tree Hill, Feb 7 2015 Some highlights https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/hikinggeek.com/wp-content/plugins/global-gallery/albums/2015_0207_C...

Saturday on Chartlon there was 1 ft + of fresh powder. I will post a trip report soon.

This took much longer to put together than anticipated, but here's a log of my 2014 hikes with links to photos and trip reports:

Great trip report thnx. I'm always on the fence with snowshoes. Used to prefer skiis for everything, but now me older, less skilled. Snowshoes likely safer. How much did they help on this hike? Did you feel you needed them? Same question applies to crampons. Seems most of the time better off just w...

The toughest hike I've done in a while. The 26 lb pack at the trailhead and using snowshoes on a 30%+ grade made for a tiring day.

Hi Taco, Any suggestions on where I could go to practice with crampons and ice axe that's away from the crowds like what's present on the Baldy Bowl? If there's a spot to glissade, that'd be a bonus. I do have some experience with the equipment, but want to get out more. I had some 'formal' training...

No problem Tekewin. It seemed like a hike you'd enjoy, based on what I've seen on your blog.
