Devils Canyon?

my favorite rock at Gilbert Lake

I know the exact rock about which you speak. Isn't that everyone's favorite rock? LOL

Just follow the spray paint and trash to Mugu Peak. You'll find everyone.

Yep. Coming up from Rosenita Saddle.

That's right. I'm going out of turn since the last post on this thread is gettin' stinky.

Where am I? I'm looking north.

I've not had your exact same experience, but I'd like to think I'd do the same thing that you did in a similar situation. You were solo, at elevation, low on water with no obvious place to replenish, and on unfamiliar ground on a warm day. Getting back safely to tell the tale and have another go at ...

Green ain't mean compared to red.

Yes Sir.

Not a very popular peak.

Summit view looking southwest.

The hint on this one: Sammy Hagar

You seem confident in that answer. LOL

But correct obviously.

Ok, what trail junction is this? In the Gabes.

I should have mentioned, this peak is in the ANF, but technically not the San Gabes.

Guess I'm up.

Name the peak. Hint: it isn't Bob.

First image it the peak. Second image is a summit view looking southeast-ish.

Going down the Mt.Wilson fire road with the Yale benchmark in the upper left had corner?

How about Cirque Peak from Wollyback?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

You up.

Further north.

My "bits' are bigger than yours. ?

A bit north-northeast of Wilson.

Ok, this is back in the San Gabes. No distinctive features per se, but I'm pretty confident y'all can get it.

Random guess based upon clue: San Mateo Peak Trail.

Never been there.

Condor from Winston?

Awesome trip. That climb from the Soldier Lakes to New Army Pass is real work made more difficult by elevation. At least its work for me.

Now 40% con...

Not to dredge up old posts (actually, I guess it is to dredge up old posts), but looking back on this, I feel the humor in this post was not given appropriate appreciation. ?

No, we saw that subsidiary drainage coming in from the left, but stayed to the right. We took a second look at it on the way down and concluded it could not possibly be the correct route. It looked less inviting than the main drainage.

Cascade is rough. You might need a tool to get through the vegetation at a couple points. The drainage is a continuous tangle of deadfall, poison oak, brambles, and loose rocks. But scarlet monkey-flower was blooming everywhere which was kinda cool. Unless we failed at navigation, the only way thro...

From the press account I read, sounds like he fell while going the Devils' Gulch falls.

RIP

The looks at Baldy from Ontario are really great. Nice pics.

If you can summit SB you can summit Whitney unless the altitude gets you.
