I use a double shot espresso, and get on the trail at least an hour before Zé

jjpicts

Parts are. Was thinking of either Banning canyon to Gunsight Pass, then over to East fork and up past Silverwood falls. Just don't know anyone who has been through there. Or making the longer trek from Whitewater.

Has anyone done a trip up Whitewater to Dragonhead. in winter conditions? Was looking over there coming down tram yesterday and it looked interesting.

Nice work JJpicts and company, very nice photos, those sunset shots were fantastic, we saw that same color on the drive home - was explaining to the other guys that with a tripod and slow shutter speed on the camera you can make that kind of sunset look surreal. Quick question, did you go up the bi...

I'll be going up the N. chute of San G. on Sat. I'll dig a little in those and let you know how consolidated they are.

Do you like the Grivel as opposed to the BD Venom?

T-shirt, jeans, and microspikes straight up the bowl??

Yeah that's classic Doug, old school all the way>

Great TR. Holiday traffic is the worst. That helmet comes in Red or white. Red one is cheaper. I'm think that anything I'm using on the mountain I want to stand out since it might just be attached to me when SARS is looking for it.

Well here's my two cents. It all really depends on conditions. If the snow is getting soft /wet then it's going to ball up under your micro-spikes and you'll be walking on snowballs. But if you have powder and Ice mixed in with rock then the little guys would do. Before Christmas a friend had to res...

[quote="They've been the subject of a little bit of debate, but I was wildly impressed with them. I walked across the ice like it wasn't even there, and had no problems whatsoever with snow building up on them later in the hike when we were up to our knees in it. Despite the fact that you do ha...

Snowshoe trip up to South fork Meadows yesterday 6 to 10 inches of new powder covering the trail was 19° at 8:30 when we started and got up to about 25° so the powder was perfect all day. Could see that it was blowing on the summits but down low it was just a slight breeze. Really fun going through ...

I think they were just practicing touch and goes.

Took a chance that the road was open and headed up to Manker Flats. Lots of construction equipment moving earth but no problem parking. The Ranger driving by just mentioned to be careful. Went up to the Ski hut and then the summit from the bowl. Little rime ice falling off the rocks into the bowl bu...

Yes went up Harwood ridge on Sat. and the ice snow and wind were nothing compared to the traffic from OC 3 different accidents with cars flipped. Felt glad to get on the trail.

jjpicts

Lilbitmo,
Cottonwood pass is the way we went up Sat. We just traversed the ridge in the morning headed to Langley (you guys interrupted a roving snowball fight when we met on the way down). We hit Cirque on the way back. My GPS said about 25 miles and 6000 gain that way.
