PS: I can't believe Bob is still wearing EVO's! I ran into him twice during winter season and he told me that's his favorite boot, but in summer -- WOW!

Re: Best Discalimer Ever

Good one: We won't even begin to discuss rappelling. If you are thinking of travelling here for the express purpose of rappelling, do us all a favor: Just take a nice nap in the fast lane of an interstate truck route. But be advised that, if you do, we are in no way responsible for the consequences ...

I work about 15 minutes from Malibu Creek and never checked it out -- for some reason I thought it was a picnic / car camping park -- completely forgot it's got some rock in there. Good stuff! Minus the 5.10 port-a-potty :D

I think Zé's page is driven by Google Docs.

A database backed/driven site is the way to go for sure for this.

So what's the holdup with eispiraten.com?

Re: Not a trip report: Baldy, 30 May 2010

You can go all the way to the summit -- there are few slick parts on the ridge but without any serious exposure. We had no crampons/axes, just trekking poles.
