Beat me to it. Good luck. Curious to see what it looks like.
You're traversing over to Allison of course

Do you know whether there is approved camping at Long Lake, southwest of Cottonwood Lakes? I ask because camping there would be more convenient for a climb up New Army. Simonov, no problem camping at Long. Just expect to a lot of campers if it's a weekend. The west side has the best camping. Don't ...

Nice job on your first "forteener". Only 14 more to go :) Good choice on not going down old army pass unless you've gone up it first. This lady hiker wasn't so fortunate. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/rea- ... pass-group Horseshoe Meadows is one of my favorite places to dayhike. Just ...

We were up doing S.G. from South Fork Saturday. Ranger Susie with her huge Newfoundland dog "bear" were checking permits at the wilderness sign. A ways down the trail another ranger was going down to Dollar Lake to check permits.
Almost like they don't trust us

Yeah it was 108 at the strip. Low 80's at the trailhead and 60-70 @ the summit. I was gonna do the loop but you neeed a shuttle car. Its more than a mile! Next time i want to camp at Charleston Saddle and Roundtrip the Mummy MT Sorry, I should have been more clear. Coming down the North loop you ca...

Nice going edenooch.So many people don’t know about this area just outside of Vegas. I love it. I go hiking up there every time we’re in Vegas. Was up there over the 4th of July week end when it was 107 deg in Vegas and 65 deg at Charleston. :shock: If you would have continued north you could have c...

Leave it to you to find some obscure peak to climb. It must have been hard to find beta on this peak.
I’ll have to check out this “Yosamite Park” out. Looks nice.

Oh, :shock: that West Ridge forgot to mention what a trip and thanks for the pictures LD...saved me a trip to Fish Fork for sure. So whats next? West ridge Twin!, West ridge Twin!...hehehe...I'll settle for Little Mermaid Pk?! Would you settle for going up to peak 6649 and then twin. Seems a little ...

forgot to mention what a trip and thanks for the pictures LD...saved me a trip to Fish Fork for sure. So whats next? West ridge Twin!, West ridge Twin!...hehehe...I'll settle for Little Mermaid Pk?! Thanks AW, that climb around the waterfall did look somewhat hairy without pro. I didn’t know there ...

dude, excellent job! that's one long approach alright. i hate poison oak. seems like that section up Fish Fork really slowed you down, I wonder if one can start ascending the ridge from north of Falls Gulch... you seem to pick the hottest days for these things, what gives ? :) ok since you did this...

About 3 weeks ago as 5 of us were topping out on Iron having just completed the traverse from Mt. Baldy I mentioned to Mace “now that we’ve done Iron from 3 sides (we had done the S/W ridge in April) how about if we box Big Iron?” “What do you mean?” “I just made that term up; if we could do the Nor...

I'll have a trail report and picts for you guys tommorrow. A buddy and I dayhiked North Ridge Saturday
Still recovering today

Great, just when my wife was used to me coming home at midnight after a death march…. I’ll have to remember to pack some really dirty clothes in my truck so as not to arouse suspicions.

You're right on.
Here's a topo on it.

O.K. Who are you and what have you done with Ze?...the Ze we know never takes the shortest routes

Nice TR Ze....luv that easy button vid...too funny
Also the one where you're getting the bird....probably getting used to that by now

Lol next time I'll stay on the ridge. BTW, how far down do you have to descend that gully? do you lose a lot of elevation? If your talking about the gulley at 6000' I believe we dropped around 400' before we started to contour up to the ridgeline again. There's probably a better way but we didn't h...

Triplet's isn't bad enough so you wanted to add another 1400' of gain? :shock: ...... sounds like another Ze trip. lol Looks like you hit the weather window just right. To bad your visibilty went to hell. It helps to keep the prize in sight :wink: That gully sounds familiar. On our first trip one of...

I'll send some postive thought waves out to you while I'm watching the Laker game

Nice job Liz,looks like you lucked out on the wx but so you won't be tempted to let all that training go to waste I see where Ze is trolling for some vict..... uh, hikers for some marathon peak bagging on the SGW board

What hike did you do, must have been exhausting! 11 of us did Williamson to Pleasant View. Lorraine "volunteered" to lead the slower group from Williamson to Pleasant View while 6 of us did a quick side trip to Goodykoontz and then we caught up to them at Will Thrall. I think Lorraine was...

"Right now I don’t think I’ll go back and “finish it off” as I’d rather check out many of the other Sierra mountains" Come on, who are you kidding? You just know that's gonna bug the hell out of ya :x You were probably already planning your next trip up on the drive down. :) Good to know I...

Zé wrote: p.s. I ran into my friend Lorraine at the rideshare, I guess you've hiked with her before, as well as Bill. Now things are making sense!

Good people both. Always up for something crazy. But if you know Bill you already know that

Nice job Ze..... good time of the year to do that peak. When it's hot doing that 2000' back up sucks big time. Those two girls you met are friends of mine. I was supposed to go with them Saturday but I've been out of commission for the last few weeks. They told me they went right past Ross until the...

that was tough! 8 liters of water was still not enough.

Great job Ze and nice TR! To get 5 hikers up a brush filled ridge in this heat must have felt like a death march.That shit makes the day go by soooo slow.

I guess sometimes my sense of humor doesn't always come across

Gotta save those "sick days" for the summer

i have always wanted to do it and this week looks pretty good. Yeah, I agree. Take a ton of beer and leave some hidden up there for the rest of us. Mark with GPS or something.

nice job! you may be interested in my hike saturday... Thanks Ze. What gives. I'm sure it will be the road less traveled :?: Oh, it's that all right and then some: Mt. Baldy via Big Horn Ridge. No one's done that route since the Great Depression when Weber's Camp closed. Oh, and hope you like brush...
