Whats the thread count?

It was Bigfoot's kid taxi.

Whoo! Tuesday! Yeah, we should start at 4 or 5 I'd say... Need to research that approach pretty carefully in order to execute in the dark. Alex - you need to start sooner. Get on the San J board, and try to PM a couple of the guys that just did it. See if you can get some beta. You need to top out ...

Taco - Sweet tools of destruction. Nice TR. So you got some new tools, sounds like you got a car, and a new watch. Congrats on getting some dough. :lol: You got some nice routes in your back pocket. NExt time you're going out, shoot me a PM. I need to get some climbs in before April. I was on Baldy ...

Wanna car pool? maybe I could get a couple wildcats to go (Arizona Wildcats that is )

Zach, you'll get more responses if ou post on San Jacinto board (if you haven't already done so). Sorry SGMDF'rs, I didn't mean any offense. Just more San J people on the San J board. :D Have fun Zach if you make it out there. Wish I could join ya. Be safe up there. Remember, we gots a warm front ri...

Awesome. Thanks for sharing Cougarmagic.

Only problem for me is this is on a Tuesday and traffic to get there from Seal Beach area would S.U.C.K.!!!! But I'll try. Sounds intriguing.

Whammo: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i6/albums/y222/TacoDelRio/Alpine%20Climbing%20Routes/BaldyWFRoutes.jpg Around 1220 meters of climbing. I'm measuring that from lower-snow levels in slightly-steeper parts. Won't know the figure till the climbing begins. 1220m does not refle...

Anyways, I had a great time. My thanks to Dave and his spontaneous ideas! Keep them coming! I have a great spontaneous idea, but I need to wait till the right oppurtunity to tell you, otherwise it won't be spontaneous. :shock: I'm not sure what the deal was with those guys we met. They had tons of ...

Thanks for the info. I live in OC, and on the 18th, OCC is also hosting the Film Festival. Tickets are $9 and can be bought through REI or at the door.

I look foward to the show.

Very cool TR! Sometime this summer I'll do Baldy under the full moon. Then, when I'm a lil braver and a lot more experienced, I wanna do this with you guys in the winter. Hey, it's good to have goals. :) Doing it in the summer is always fun. Full moon parties on the summit are always cool. As far a...

Sweeet. I almost went up last night myself. How much of the bowl did the moon lightup? The entire mountain was lit up. We walked from car to ski hut without headlamps on. We ascended the bowl with our headlamps on, more for mental reassurance than anything. From top of bowl, I could see base of bow...

Last night about 7pm I was coming home from the drug store with few supplies (gauze, tape, etc) for a surgery I was having this morning. I saw a beautiful full moon, and jokingly text Zach to do a climb. Dang it if he didn't say yes. So, we both rushed to pack our gear and we met at Manker Flat shor...

EnFuego, dude, I've got new tools coming in, so I'm down later... got jury duty soon so I dunno when. You got jury duty? Man, how'd you swing that one? Lucky guy whoever is on trial. I"m sure whatever he did, you'll free him. I gotta order two new tools. Zach, Alex and I are planning a few tri...

Cool pics. LIghtinging Couloir still looks inviting. The next cold spell we get, I'm there. Maybe have to do it in the dark so temps are low to minimize rockfall. You guys had some nice weather, except the late clouds, but that can be fun too. Taco - Looks like we need to plan our summit sushi party...

Nice request. I was bit by a rattlesnake once. And it appears I lived to tell you about it. :lol: Well, lets see, it was a beautiful fall day in September sometime, 1987. Ah screw it, I can't glorify it. Anyway, I was fly fishing along the East Fork San Gabriel river with my pops. I was 17 at the ti...

Thanks for the post. I was wondering the conditions up there for a possible short climb on Saturday.

Nice pictures.

Beautiful pictures. Some of those couloirs up to Jepson are awesome.

Great job on summiting. And I'd also like to know how long car-to-car.

Great graphics too. I'm going back to class.

Nice TR. Thanks for sharing that. Your TR brought back a lot of memories from when my dad and I explored those same mines about 25 years ago.

I love the picture of the shack. I love finding old remnants like that.

Wow, sounds like you had a good day. I'm actually kind of relieved I couldn't make it out with you. If I had, you wouldn't have completed the hike as quickly as you did. :lol: But on serious note, you did some great mileadge and elevation gain. When you're ready for a slow, relaxing stroll, then giv...

All kidding aside, glad to see you got out, I too have been down for a month with a bad knee - don't know if it's the ACL or Miniscus? Cannot afford the cost of getting it scoped so I'm rehabing it myself. It's all in your mind. Bring your knee over here, I'll fix it for ya. http://www.freesmileys....

Nice pix Alan. Glad to see the snow still hanging in there. I had a couple routes nearby on my "to do" list, I think I'll try to hit one up next week.

With the other responses saying there might be snow or ice sounds like this might be a fun hike. Wish I could make it out there with you, but unfortunately, got soem other obligations this weekend.

Have fun.

Snow Creek has just been climbed to the peak - Mar 4 http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/4 ... inish.html Taco del Rio is even mentioned in this Summitpost article. The pictures from this post look magnificent. I do a lot of work with the agency that owns the land around Snow Creek. I wonder if I...

Really cool climbing vid. But what I like even better, is the scenery out there when they pan the camera. Absolutly beautiful.

http://ssqq.com/archive/vinlin27c.htm Near the bottom... "A damsel in distress. Such a pretty girl and such a pretty car. What a pity." One must make a great many errors in judgement to come to her point. 1. She's in SIBERIA. 2. She's in high heels. 3. She's driving (or boating) a Nissan ...

So when is the SGMDF group trip to Huashan? :) I think we should do it during the annual Loon migration. Nicely formatted Mt. Huashan link by the way. :wink: Thanks HJ for your help on that. Works like a charm. We will be meeting in South Vietnam, hiking the Ho Chi Minh trail, then cutting up throu...

I ran across the email below when I ws searching most dangerous trails in the world. I don't know if anyone has ever heard of Mount Huashan , but this trail is incredible. Check it out. When you travel on this mountain, it's called Mountain Hiking, not Mountain Climbing. Anyway, I found this email b...

Sweet pictures. Thanks for posting.

I think I want to check out Vivian Creek trail sometime soon. By end of March for sure. Anyone up to join me?
