EISPIRATEN

Where was your car parked? Did it survive?

Sorry that this thread is focused around the skull more than the actual hike.

But WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE THE SKULL HOME AND CLEAN IT is the problem here

9 miles total with 3100ft of gain! From the saddle to the peak is definitely the steepest section

The behemoth that is East Mermaid, has been on my to-do list for almost a year. I first learned of the “mermaids” after reading some old trip reports and finding that it was an odd name for a group of peaks. The lack of views of the city from East Mermaid intrigued me since most peaks are climbed ...

What a great report! That peak looks like quite the athletic adventure so I will have to try that route when my fitness hits a peak

Absolutely no clue about a cabin. Super super cool to find ruins. Definitely gotta go back and look for more artifacts and dig a bit

I think we should hike with no ID so there wouldn’t be any way to get a ticket.

I would love to make an attempt to get there. It's been on my bucket list

The last page shows the likelihood and intensity of debris flow after a rainstorm. Does that mean that the possibility of getting rich quick off of gold prospecting is possible?

I think they came in from the idlehour trail, the way that we took to get back. I'll start digging for some lidar or old images

Where to begin! Eaton Canyon is pretty grand and I must say, it might be the most pretty canyon I have spent time in in the entire Angeles Forest. Harvard Branch has always caught my eye as I’ve come down the idlehour trail. The thing is filled with large pine trees and winds all the way up to… a ...

Sean! Did you moon on the moon?

HELL YEAH GUYS! Bucket list trek for me right there. There's still so much snow! Is it fresh or old?

Sweeeet see you all tomorrow

Got it! So Gotchy's cabin was actually right on Mount Muir! So the cabin I visited wasn't that cabin and was probably another in the tract right?

Oh hell yeah Dima! Now I we gotta lead some trad!

Aerial image from 5/27/24 shows sign clearly!

Since we are scrutinizing peak names in that area, what's the deal with having both a Muir Peak AND "Mount Muir"?

And then OSM has "Muir Peak" where Cal Topo has "Mount Muir" with no name where Forest Service map and Cal Topo has "Muir Peak"

So it's just some dude's house? Was he squatting? I don't think there's an inholding right there, right? And the mine, if it exists, is somewhere else?


The mine is definitely somewhere else. I think we can further narrow down our georeferencing by finding the exact location of the Pine, Summit ...

The goal of the day was very simple: To get to this strange building that is next to Inspiration Point to see if it was mine related. The following image is from 1960 and has the building circled. hut.jpg
On the side, I have been trying to locate all the mines in the Monitor Consolidated Claims ...

I got the West Fuji Peak registry and the Phillips Point sign! TR coming soon, but someone decided to rename West Fuji to Philips Point and we're not having that.

Happy birthday Dima!

I was thinking the same thing!

Fire is burning the Cow Canyon Saddle water tower area. Here is the cam photo from the 10064ft.com cam also mountain high is burning

cameras.alertcalifornia.org is a great resource.

Sadly, there's flames on the Mtn High Resort cam...

That is distressing. I don't like what the satellites are saying at all: https://caltopo.com/map.html#ll=34.27694,-117.72297&z=12&b=om&a=modis_mpg
I see what you're seeing and I am extremely saddened at the moment. Screenshot 2024-09-10 150452.png

I was writing a trip report for the last two ...

Looks like the fire is making it's way up the south ridge of iron per the sunset peak cam

I read the California Appeals Court case . The easements are for "hiking and equestrian trails." Other activities are not mentioned. In your pursuit of climbing, I wouldn't use the argument that climbing is not different from hiking or riding horses. First, it's inherently more dangerous than ...

It's not looking good guys...

Fire started at the gmr x east fork bridge by cattle canyon.
