Lilbitmo and I did the summit via the Ski Hut Trail. Conditions were perfect. Look for our TR and pics on Monday.

Nice work boys. The crux looks pretty cool to do with crampons - nice work Alex.

The whole route looks pretty awesome. How long did it take to top out?

The Earth's Axis has tilted recently increasing the tilt an additional 26 degrees. This is pretty interesting. Shows some of the reasons why and the effects:

Well, since I'll be breaking in some new boots and crampons, hard to say what time. But I would guess we will be on top about 10:30-11:00am.

Hope that helps. Will call you Friday evening.

I'm up for it. We could have a tea and biscuit party on the summit, or we can fly my two new stunt kites. :lol: I just want to get on the snow again. I want to try my new Jet Boil system on the summit. See how it works in colder weather. I think Lilbitmor is also up for the summit on Saturday. He js...

Nice TR. I really like the pics.

In your second pic, theres like 7 guys that look like they're getting ready to climb. Were they with you?

OK - so where can one get the organic chews? And where can we all get a russian shot glass?

Nice TR and pictures. I'm looking at doing Baldy this Saturday with a small group (whom non I know) but look foward to finally getting out. Haven't been in the snow yet this year.

I don't know much about canyoneering - YET!!!! But that was a pretty nice TR. I've always thought about canyoneering, and wanted to do it, but I thought you had to go to places like Utah for canyoneering. I'm glad to see there are places local for it to be done.

What do you think? Is this the scariest trail?

watch to atleast one minute into video, gets pretty good after that.

I spent one of my days off going through my winter gear to make sure I got what I need to start winter hiking/mountaineering again. I ran across a few items I have never or seldom used and there is no need for me to hang on to them. Charlet Moser "Super 12 Rapid Fix" Crampons Never Used $4...

Skip, I'm not into propecting at all, but I've been hiking in the San Gabriel area for more than 20 years. And all though I've seen a lot of misuse by the prospectors (trash, sloppy messy camp sites, etc) I have seen these same guys clean everything up quite a bit in the recent years. there still ar...

Bill,

I sent you PM

Nice pics. Looks like a beautiful day. What were the temps like mid day?

And then, his two friends go look for him and decide to split up. Makes you wonder......

EDIT: ALL SOLD!!!! Take anything here $30/each or take it all $100 My son has outgrown these, and my daughter never used hers. Here's what I got: Lamar Super-X 125cm (the black one - never used) Lamar Super-X 132cm w/bindings (the red one - used 1 season, 3 times) Lamar Athena 144cm (the purple one)...

Some of those pics look pretty nice. If you attempt this again for a 4th time, I wouldn't mind walking the approach with you. I'm not sure about doing the crag just yet.

Are we still up for the sushi/summit party on the 3rd?

Patrick - you plan on hitting Gabrielino on Friday or Saturday? I just inherited my neice and nephew through January 3rd, but I'd like to go. I got your email this afternoon, but didn't read it. It came in as my machine was shutting down. My neice and nephew are old enough to stay by themselves for ...

Looking foward to more pics.

Did you guys make it to the top?

TacoDelRio wrote:I'm not a Mexican guy.

I didn't picture you as Mexican either. For some reason, by reading your posts, I pictured you as a short, stout, locomotive walking machine. Maybe Irish.

Tose are som awesome shots. to see an animal like that, in such a public, well travelled area, is absolutely awesome. You took some nice pics there. I've seen some before in East Fork San Gabriel and Lytle Creek areas, but never any in Baldy area.

Taco - I imagined you looking totally different.

Definately nice crag up there though.

I've said this a few times already tonight on some other TR's, but Hvydrt and Tim - you both have some beautiful pics there. I'm getting so jealous that I missed all the beauty and fresh snow this past weekend. I had commitments of shopping, poker tournement, and Christmas parties to attend (not nec...

I should have clarified the word cheating. I meant that I went into another wilderness after telling a new guy to the board EnFuego that I was going to do the Bowl or Register Ridge on Baldy and instead went over to the San Jacinto wilderness. Lilbitmo :D Darn right you cheated. I was waiting at Ba...

Nice TR and very nice pics. Looks like a beautiful loop I would like to try someday. Maybe in the early spring. How long did your hike take?

Ranboze - very nice pictures. I enjoyed reading your TR. I remember the first time I climbed to the Ski Hut and beyond, I did the same thing. First I tried out some new snow shoes and I fought them the enitre way. Second, I strapped on some crampons approaching Devils Backbone, and no matter how tig...

Here are some new snow pics :D ............... On Wednesday My gf and I drove up to the Mount Waterman area (right off the road) while it was snowing, to play in the at least 2 and a half feet of fresh powder in the area. There were definitly drifts that were deeper though. It was fun for the most ...

I use photo bucket to upload images and then copy the URL link to a post. But my question is - what is your favorite photo hosting site? I don't like mine very much, too slow. Also, is copying a url link from a photo host site the only way to upload images to a post in this forum? On a fishing site ...

Oh, I see now. I need to get what ever he's got. I was not liking the ads.

Unless they're fr single hot babes.......

Close. Patrick was actually two suites down, same building, same floor.

What are the odds. Now I'm really not going to get any work done. I'll be in his office or he in mineto discuss hiking. Damn, need to find new job now.

Forgot to mention (FWIW) - Haven't seen an add in over a year... I use Firefox browser with the NoScript add-on and, voilà, no advertisements. I think the ad only comes after you post a message. Here's the ad that was under your message: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i498/album...
