Here's how they did coming down:

Headed up to Mt Baden-Powell on Sunday with a couple "newbie" showshoers. Weather was beautiful, views were beautiful.

Trailhead: 8:20am
Summit: 10:40am

One person did lose one of her snow shoes on way down. If by chance somebody found a lone snowshoe (white/purple I believe), please let me know ...

San Gorgonio? Really?

Norma - nice to see your dedication. I was up there also on Sunday. My thoughts were exactly the same as yours. I figured with the rain that had come on Friday or Saturday, the slight drop in temps, it was possible there would be snow and ice to play in. Boy, were we wrong.

I'll post some pics soon ...

BRAT.

A few friends and I went insearch of some snow. Didn't find squat to climb. Can't believe how much the snow has melted away from two weeks ago.

Hiked Manker Flats to Ski Hut, up to Mt Baldy summit, Devils Backbone, Register Ridge. Beautiful skies and view to Catalina and beyond. The rest sucked do ...

Headed up to Mt Tyndall with a friend and to meet some friends. Beautiful hike, beautiful trail, and awesome 2,000 feet of Class III+ exposed slab climbing.

After my first "test" hike in the Baldy area after my achillies tear, I decided to try something a little longer and a little faster. At the same time, I figure this will be the start of a ...

Feeling about 40% healed from a full Achillies rupture at end of February, and also feeling antsy to get back out on the trail, I tested my leg a little on this first hike since the accident.

My Achillies was stiff (as usual) for the first mile or so before loosening ...

Is anybody interested in some mountain biking this weekend? Either early Saturday or Sunday morning. I ruptured my Achillies tendon 3 months ago, and I'm still trying to strenghten my leg. So the mileadge will be kept under 20 miles, and the terrain will be flat to semi hilly dirt roads. I can ride ...

Nice way to spend a day.

Don't forget to mention that this night will be a full moon night.

The hike and the climb during th efull moon is awesome with all the light reflecting off the bowl.

Wish I could join you. Good luck and have fun.

Congrats. Looks like a great day and a great climb.

BTW - looks just like the San Gabriels.

I like the Jesus pose Steve.

Looks like an awesome trip guys. You can always count on Fern for a laugh or two, well, maybe a couple dozen.

Nice TR and pictures Sam.

Nice TR and nice photos.

Conditions can be fun going up, when it's early and the snow is firm. Coming back down is always challenging when things soften up. Next time, from the summit, head east towards the smaller bowl and walk/glissade right into the ski hut. Saves a lot of time and is lots of ...

Nice stillettos.

Canyon aint so bad either.

WTF? Did Fern get a new pack?

Mike - you just have to rub it in.... Dont you?

Pretty bitchen snow cave. Looks like you also enjoyed an awesome dinner with some great friends.

Sweet.
