Re: Hiker missing near Mount Baldy since 2/27/2008

That spring I joined SAR and received my mountaineering certification the following winter.
Who did you contact to join SAR?
Is it local?

Thanks

Hey Fritz, you are absolutely right. On the glissade before this one, because we left our packs at the bottom, I did almost flip over hurting my arm, So don't use crampons?

Thanks

Re: Simonov and He219's Mount Baldy Ascent, 20080209

If I'm not mistaken, they are glissading in crampons. I was taught to NEVER do this. So I'm curious: are there exceptions? Thanks, Leslie This is Robert. The guide who trained us here on Jan. 12, 2008 (as seen on YouTube video trogrey121 ) said as long as you hold your feet up you can glissade down...
