EISPIRATEN

I didn't see any problems, Betty. If you have one that bothers you, PM me and I'll be glad fix it.

I believe you misread, Betty_Goat. Only thing I saw were jokes regarding inner-city communities in Los Angeles, due to the lack of hiking available in the mountains.

Reading comprehension.

My machete hasn't been used in a few years. I think that the "trail" errr route, should suck only up until we hit the ridge proper. From the air, it looks similar to Copter Ridge, which was nice.

I'd consider it cheating because I don't want to drive that far.

8) It would be cool if we could organise an assault, of sorts, on that ridge. On Google Erf, the ridgeline itself looks easy going as far as brush from about 6,000ft up. The ridgeline ascending from Widman Ranch looks easy. I can clearly see a trail, a good looking one from what can be seen, coming ...

Heaton Saddle at 4,582ft?

Holy crap, it starts off above Widman Ranch? That's kinda a PITA.

Thanks, AW!

That is interesting, I'd like to see that.

I've got some pictures I took, showing a trace of a trail on Bighorn Ridge, but I cannot find them. I don't know where I could have put them.

Hooah etc 8)

Very nice, excellent photos! What peak is that directly behind it?

LOL

Wonder what a 5.13b would be...

I'm really surprised and quite relieved that the San Gabriel's did not have any fires. Seems like a gamble most years, especially this year. Roll the dice, hope for the best, least damage.

Anyone want to do the Compton-Watts traverse via Slauson or Imperial Blvd Ridge?

Haha, musta been real fun to clean up those porta potties.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mike.

Thanks Jim!

Sounds beautiful!
How steep is Mine Gulch?

Thank you for the map!

Howdy guys! I love going into the mountains for whatever activity I wish to indulge in at any given moment, because they are beautiful, clean, and peaceful. It is difficult to find serenity and peace in Los Angeles. I'm sure we all share this feeling, and we all strive to feel at peace in the mounta...

ALL POSTS BEYOND THIS POINT NOT APPLYING VERY DIRECTLY TO THE MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE ON TRAILS, WILL BE DELETED.

Danke sehr.

Should be bone dry. Just windy, probably 35-37 degrees on the backbone.

I think Goodykoontz usta' be Buckhorn Mountain, as for the name.

If y'all can do everyone a favor, and communicate personal info VIA private messages.

Thank you! 8)

Do you have a photobucket account or any other album of your own pics online? If so, you can link to an image, generally 150x100 pixels though it's flexible (so long as it ain't huge), and put it in the section that says "Link to off-site Avatar: Enter the URL of the location containing the Ava...

Let's not bring any more problems to the board, Janice.

THat works. I'm just trying to get an idea how how wide it looks and how crappy the soil is, in case the snow isn't exactly in conditions.

Thanks bro!

Ditto. If anyone gives this a shot, we may even organise this as a trip. 2+ heads are better than one.

I'm not going up to BP unless it's winter. I hate scree slogs. I've done real crappy condition winter climbing, "San Gabriel Mixed - Dirt Tooling" as I refer to it. I'm not a fan of not-snowy conditions anywhere. 8)

Starting at Heaton Flats and going up from there.

Glad you like the board! Feel free to add whatver you'd like, plans and such!

Really pretty area: http://www.dankat.com/advents/slides/lowdvl.htm

Gotta clean those holds (IE destroy them) in the San Gabriels before you can climb! SOP for this range!
