Nice write up fellas - we need the National Forest People to assign us guns and rubber bullets, so we can sniper the people that put graffiti on those rocks, we should be allowed to shoot them between the legs where it will hurt because they have no brains so shooting them there will have no effect ...
Nice job Phil and Dave - I've never been there so your report just moved that area onto my to do list, I've seen the area from the PCT only a few years after the curve fire, it looked narly back then. I really like that Telephoto shot of Baldy and those 2 giant climbing legends on the summit only mi...
This is all I need to know that makes me happy :D Tonight: Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Patchy fog. Low around 19. Wind chill values as low as zero. Windy, with a south wind 35 to 40 mph decreasing to between 25 and 30 mph. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph...
Nice work Hvydrt - that's an amazing two day adventure - pictures are assume 6 of those nine rarely see anyone in the winter, like normal I'm a little Green with envy as well. Thanks for sharing that TR
Wanted a break from San J as I had been out there four weekends in a row. Ty and I decided to do a quick run up the Bowl before all the snow melted out, so we headed up to Manker where we ran into some of the usual suspects – Shin (doing his 224 summit of Baldy), So. Bay Mark (who was celebrating hi...
Great video - was that you that came past us yesterday asking about if we had seen your keys at the base of the falls? Someone was lucky enough to climb back up and find them?
Make sure to get an early start or, my friends like to leave the afternoon before (we actually leave drunkenly, at midnight... but we know the way) and stay at Mine Fork camp the first night. It makes the run down to Fish Fork much more leisurely. Here's the easter egg hunt: 30x rivercrossing 2x ra...
Ran into James today as well, he joined Ty and I for a shot up the left main bowl between the two mini-slides - as soon as he mentioned seeing Alan I just knew you were on Register Ridge yesterday I put up a TR tomorrow.
Burchey - Very nice TR, great shots, that's a tough haul in dry conditions, you earned that summit nice work. On a side note when I'm running low on water and I have snow I will mix it with the water in my bladder and/or naglene bottle to make it last longer, shake the hell out of it - just a though...
I was wondering how things were over on SJ, looks so nice. Down the road when I improve my conditioning, I'd be interested in doing some of the volunteer SAR. I wonder if I could hack it, and if living a couple hours away would preclude me from serving realistically. Being a volunteer is more about...
Nice TR and great pictures, glad you went out and enjoyed the snow and made it back safely. The avalances are just getting started, old icy snow underneath is piled high with sugary supersoft stuff on top - add wind and sun and that makes for a slide.
Since I had done "Leatherneck Ridge" the weekend before I'm going to go out on a limb here and just say I was completing the climb from the previous weekend :D - makes me feel better anyhow :wink: As Zach indicated the gate was closed - not quite sure why they cannot have us up at the uppe...
When you are logged in click on Profile above, under that there's a category called "Preferences" three quarters down the page of choices, then the third one down under that is "notify me of responses and notify me by email of postings" change that from "NO to Yes" and ...
Nice TR and great pictures as always - you sure you didn't used to do commercials - you know the ones with that silly rabbit banging on a drum, cause you always keep going, and going and going one of these days I'm going to get you to take me up there and show me your other backyard

Trails Of the Angeles by John Robinson Page #230, 3rd Paragraph, last line and I quote "The Present name (Ice House Canyon) dates from the 1860's, when an ice plant in the lower canyon supplied ice to the valley residence (I'm assuming he means San Gabriel Valley)". Other places to get inf...
