Great Trip Report and Pictures JFR You might want to log into or become a member of the board for the San Gorgonio Wilderness Association http://www.sgwa.org/ and post a message on that board to help find the owner of the camera. Under the title "The Wilderness" down near the bottom it say...

Thanks to Phil and Tina for putting this together.Thank you James for putting up the trip report. It was nice to finally meet Turtle (I vote we rename him Rabbit :D, Cucamonga to his car in 1:25 min that's moving, nice work, I'm sure the family apprecaited it - the "Adventure Pass is mine, just...

Norma, those are some very nice pictures you took, I'm sick with envy, the cure it to head that way in two weeks to get my own dose of that :shock: :D Thanks for sharing that, I'll have to get some tips from lik2hik on Sat when I see him about the most direct routes. Thanks for sharing that, makes m...

Don't know how I missed this but great shots Marty, that's one of my favorite spots in the Sierra's, less crowds, multiple peaks, good fishing, great views. Thanks for sharing this

Ok, i finally hafta ask...what the hell are you guys talking about when you say "beta"? In the simplest terms it means that one climber/hiker/whatever is asking another for as much information as possible so that they may make an attempt on the same route/trail/canyon/cave with the most k...

Zach and I decided that we wanted to hit some summits in the Crystal Lake area after plans to go to the Sierra’s fell through. For me it was time to get back to some unfinished business. In the winter of 2006 I attempted the hike from Islip Saddle to Vincent Gap only to fall short by half a mile of ...

Great work Elwood, too bad we couldn't get 100 people with clippers to make our own trail up that ridge.

Being how I hate the hot days on the trail, I always like the cool evenings in the summer so I convinced two others that a full moon stroll up Baldy midweek was a good idea :D Jake carrying the load while Woody (Elwood) sniffs out the route https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i908/alb...

Nice work Dave and Phil, we missed you by 14 hours, we went up at 8:20 PM Thursday night (Ty, Taco, Jake and Elwood and Myself) during the full, full moon and made it back to the car by 2 AM - perfect night for Midnight Madness on Baldy

Just bring the fangs, and hairy knuckles and maybe a "silver bullet"

Not sure yet. I want to get out more, buuuuuutttttt.... I dunno what to say. Maybe a hike up Ontario would be nice, with the great views, the odd dead forest, all of that. I think I've gone up Baldy more than my own stairs in my house. ;-) Ty and I are hooking up around 7 in Brea, then heading up f...

You thinking of coming or was the "Sounds Fun" just a statement of "Awe"

how do you guys stay up so late?!? im totally done in, mentally and physically by 8pm, and sound asleep by 830. i fall apart if im up past 10pm. do you sleep til noon like taco? (i get up at 430am everyday, work 8hrs, then run 6-8 miles, shower, then eat all i can for 45 minutes, then pass the eff ...

Anyone interested in Full Moon, Midnight Madness on Baldy?

Let me know I'm considering it

Great shots and trip report, that water flow is crazy thanks for sharing.

Nice work Taco, that spot where we got cliffed out by the last waterfall in 2010 has some serious "hydraulics" going on and much deeper this time.

I need to get some skills under my belt to run down that one of these days, thanks for sharing that.

Very, very, very nice - any day in the Sierra's is a good day Thanks for sharing that. Just keep the TR coming, it puts a smile on our faces when we are working at our desks

I would have stopped to talk more as well but both Jeff and I were feeling the heat and wanted to keep moving, good to run into you, great shots. Without knowing it you caught the backside of Bob Burd in the picture with One of several snow crossings on the switchbacks to Mine Shaft Saddle. as the w...

I'll take them cougar, when my better half get's home, I make the arrangements through pay pal

Great Trip Report, glad you ventured over from the usual San J side of things, great pictures as well, glad you enjoyed yourself. Big Ass Ham came from Taco who picked it up from David Letterman, who gives away silly prizes to the studio audience. From an article on line at http://www.museum.tv/eotv...

That looks like a very fun day and the pictures are assume, thanks for posting .

Looking at the second picture it's the tail end of the third chute in the foremost ridgeline, it actually is facing the north and a little east, see picture below.

Needed to get a “little hike” in after spending two weeks in flatland Michigan. Yeti suggested we go play in the San Bernardino’s, maybe hit a peak or two, or three, or four, or five :shock: (One of the resevoir dogs is back :D ) We pulled into the parking lot at Southfork trail head and Bob Burd, J...

Part of a Steripen UL water system concept.

That would be a winner for me as well, good ideal Migolito

Great Trip report, pictures and adventure everyone, some of that canyon looks familiar to me :wink: only more full of water this year, I'm guessing the camping area at the confluence of the Fish Fork/East Fork has changed from the water flow as well - too bad Dav and company were not there this time...

Very nice write up Tonto, did anyone see "king o sabie"? :shock: :D One of the best climbs this year, great start to the Sierra summer. Thanks for doing the write up and leading the last 300 feet. My Pictures here I used two cameras, one 35mm for the first 75 shots and 56 shots with a &quo...

Two of the best shots of you this winter are from that climb Number 1 https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i908/albums/ac287/CharlieMacbob/Baldy%20Bowl%20Tina%20Zach%20Mike%20Sam%20Taco%2001-15-2011/BaldyBowlTinaZachMikeSamTaco01-15-2011064.jpg Number 2 https://eispiraten.com/images-ar...
