Tina, you ain't gettin' sponsored without me! you hear that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there's gotta be some outfit out there that is lookin' to to sponsor two crazy chicks that love to climb more than they love to work! what's this HJ, you just go to (first) basecamp? new license plate frame... "Peakbagger...

ain't no mountain high enough!...

WooHoo! Rock 'n Roll T-girl! i'm afraid to ask... what's next?

there is a Sharkey's on the SW corner of Westlake Boulevard and Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Westlake Village, but you probably headed east from Malibu Creek and went to the one on Reseda Boulevard just south of the 101 freeway.

well if it was that fugly, i sure am glad you did it safely.

aw heck Max i am so sorry to hear :cry: my 6 week holding pattern has been really tough. but like eveyone says, you will be back before you know it! :evil: smack me for saying that, cuz i hated hearing it. i hope your pain is tolerable. i look forward to getting in some recovery hikes this week and ...

thanks Alan! it sheds a little more light on their belief. kinda.

i gotta admit i always feel energized and at peace on Baldy. but then again, i feel that way on any mountain i climb.

dang! shows you how out of it i have been. i just saw this post. :( except for the crappy (pun intended) land mine looks like you three had a good day. cool! that wall affectionately called Ape Wall is where i learned to climb back in the day (that would be the 90's.) the Grotto (dis)affectionately ...

...and it was almost 5 woman at breakfast! i popped into the Alabama Hills Cafe to say Hi to the group before they left for their trip. a hug for Sara and quick intro to the others and they were on their way. i also heard from Sara that it was indeed a GREAT trip. btw... that photo Chris took of Sar...

Nice hike Zé! i've been wanting to do Alta and always figurered i would do it in spring when there is still snow, but i liked the way it looked in summer. gotta give it a try. thanks for the info on Panther Peak and Tharps Rock too. i love an added bonus and Tharps looks like a fun little challenge....

very cool! how awesome to share something we love with others that truly have to work harder to attain it. kudo's to Chris and all the sighted guides! congrats to the hikers! you ROCK! and thanks to Johnny for posting.

cool footage CM! i love knowing that the cats are still amongst us in our local mountains. btw... i will be up for a short hike in a couple weeks.

:D Outstanding! Congrats Shin! That's one heck of a lot of walking! Curious, do you take different trails and mix it up or do you mostly do the same route? Shin, you personally have impressed me twice with your generous spirit; that day last December when the young girl fell on the bowl and by your ...

LOL! those are two Wild and Crazy guys in that first shot. glad you enjoyed getting friggin' uncomfortable and wet. Good times

AWESOME CLIMB DAVE & PHIL!!!!!!!!!!

i might be Green with envy, but i am so happy for you. one for the record books!!! now you and Phil just have to work on your Monty Montana skills for the next assault! Yee Haw!

beautiful pix Dave!

Taco, seems anytime i see something about cars (or guns!) i think of you. don't know if you seen this, but i was thinking maybe you should go American and shop for a Mercury Comet!

Has anyone ever ascended Baldy walking on their hands the whole way? 8) believe me, with each week i keep thinking about that more and more! in fact if i had a partner, we could do wheelbarrow. i walk on my hands, you hold my legs up when i get tired! (it'll be 4 weeks on the DL tomorrow. i'm going...

Oh, but she's a sweetie. I keep hoping they'll be some type of get together like there was last summer, but no such luck thus far. Let me know if you're down toward Glendale/Pasadena/Burbank some time on a Saturday or afternoon on Sunday. Hmm?... hey Taco, any chance you'd want to organize or annou...

HJ

did you say... Epic? oh, this house arrest is driving me nuts!

Nice hike! Beautiful photos HikeUp. Loved the cloudy skies.

Hi Tina! I used the Prolite plus with a z-lite this spring in the Sierra. I cannot sleep cold and i do not like having to blow up a big mattress in the snow when setting up camp quickly is important, especially if it's cold. I wish the Prolite was as thick as the Neoair you purchased since i would l...

WooHoo! gives you faith in others. after loosing my camera on a plane a few years ago i now have labels with my name & ph# on my Spot, camera and GPS. just a thought.

All ratings are subjective/relative, they're only meant to be a general guide to relative difficulty. i agree with this and all the other serious posts. i mentioned RR as class 2 since there isn't a well defined trail, it's truly a footpath created by those that know it. i always tend to think of g...

1) Baldy bowl to Baldy summit. Class 2? Class 1 if you're on the trail. Class 2-3 if you are going straight up the bowl or via a chute. 2) Bear Flats to Baldy summit. Class 1? Correct. 3) Icehouse to Cucamonga Peak summit. Class 2? Class 1. 4) Vivian Creek to Gorgonio Peak summit. Class 2? Class 1. ...

there ain't nothing inferior 'bout you.

peace to you, wherever you may find it.

ahh, Johanna now i understand why it took months before you would hike with me again. it seems i am everything you and your not-too-highflalutin members choose not to be. i am a Peakaholic and i admit that i have no control over it. yes my addiction has come, in fact, up to 14,508 feet between me an...

Great photos Taco! Great job on an ambitious hike Taco, Zach, Patrick and Tina!! Thirty miles? Yikes! Even my feet would have felt sick on that one!!! With 30 miles and 15 plus hours of scrambling, i bet you ALL went through waves of pain and suffering. No wimps on that hike! Those headwall photos a...

:cry: The beautiful Matilija Canyon and Falls near Ojai is in risk of being closed to the public by the landowner that owns the land that hikers cross to access the public land of Matilija Canyon. To reach the falls you enjoy one of the prettiest and most fun hikes in Ventura County that takes you o...

i hate a story with a sad ending. especially when it's real. i don't care if it was perfectly legal. there was nothing perfect about it.

Taco, you were just as sapped as the rest of us! Plus you lost more blood than me!!!!

that it was mve! we all walked out of there tired as hell with legs of Jello! pretty much what i would call a Perfect Day!

very cool! i think a hike on the trails near the PS Ranch might be in order.
