got a map/gps track in here you could look at to see where trail starts out of the gulch.

stoveFAIL!

I was too lazy to write up anything for it, but here's a map and pics of Quail Mtn hike I did in December

also there is an Angeles Crest Hwy 'fan' page on failbook that gets a bunch of motorcyclists posting updates

you'll never make it. just give up now

lol yeah once I was told Heaton Flat was flooded. of course that was after an insignificant amount of rain compared to this weather.

trust me if it was the rangers saying this (and not ski lifts) I still wouldn't trust them!

nice hair

sure, but things can get misinterpreted pretty quickly. this study does not show eating anything is worse than nothing before exercise, only that eating a large meal 90 min before is worse than no food at all. most people wouldn't do that anyways. is eating nothing better than having a bowl of cerea...

here's some saddles with benchmarks. clearly should be the highlight of such a list. good luck

it is interesting. I have been experimenting with different food timing scenarios and fasting. I'm not sure exactly how much to take from this study - their comparison of fasted vs non-fasted meant feeding people 700 kcal 90 minutes before exercise. That's too much. People won't (or shouldn't) eat t...

pretty sure it's still operating. have seen people in the canyon. davantalus has interacted with the tungsten mine people, it seems. https://eispiraten.com/f ... asc-60.php Big Horn ridge and mine TR's might be mine, so thanks :) been up Cattle canyon twice, but never up to the mine. you don't need ...

lol, soon this forum will turn into a nonlinear dynamics and chaos discussion.

awesome!

how close did that coyote come to you?! that's crazy cool!

yes! seems like a nice route.

you need another training hike?

HAHAHAHAH! what the hell? what's with the birds? i need to go smoke some week or something.

cool pic

Thanks, Taco. I chose Bear Flat yesterday because I assumed it would be less inclined to present me with danger since it's more south/west facing. At least this early in the season. But I was astounded at the snow level, and how the route down had iced over as I was descending. I also worried about...

you da man!!

Allison mine is more easily accessible via a trail up Allison gulch, btw

nice job!

I ride with a bear bell on my handlebars so hikers hear me coming on narrow trails. that's good they can hear you, but are you going to be able to see them and stop in enough time? just like cars on a road, bikers gotta be ready to stop. nothing personal, but if a mountain biker comes flying around...

hahahahahaah!

At Caltech, we often seen young students (e.g.Stephen Wolfram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram got his PhD here at age 20). Is this similar to a young climber? What role do parents play? What happens next?

I'm gonna say Wolfram's development was at a whole other level!

Jake's going to hell!

not sure if it's "legal", as it could be ski lift property, I have no idea if it is or not. i've gone down it multiple times without any complaint.

are you shitting me?!

that 2nd picture is crazy cool!
