REPORTED TO THE STASI

Don't bother packing yer bags, you'll have everything you need at our safe, family-friendly facility.

No, I don't think it's warranted. It's government overreach. On top of that, it's overreach mandated by people who don't know a damn thing about nature.

Sell the peons a 'reasonable' package, and then extend it over and over again. Tighten the noose. The 'managerial class' of govt gets more power ...

Not until next week, probably.

We should ban life.

illegal. reported.

That's right! It's what you win.

I'm down to try. I would likely ride up Sunset Peak motorway (or whatever its called) from San Dimas and bushwhack in from the most logical point.

I keep forgetting to go there. Anyone wanna ride with me? Any of you guys been?

The second video. I've seen the first video but that second one was huge.

Right on. Was that the day with the huge avalanche caught on video?

I played hide and seek with the DWA guys once near the bottom. We made it up onto the isthmus before they saw us.

Hey, look on the bright side, there won’t be so many people around anymore.

Argh.

Excellent photos! I am down to go back.

A few years back, Dima and I rode up to the top of White Mtn Peak from Grandview campground above 8,000ft. Clearly, the pure way to do it would be to ride from the lowest realistic point, that being either Big Pine (a lot of pavement), or Bishop (nearly all dirt). I took my gravel bike last time ...

Last I saw they said the LAC but not the SBCO sectors were open. Bizarre indeed but typical.

Nice shoes.

Cool, once I'm back to normal health I'm down to clown.

I have some stuff I wanna work on up near Crystal Lake if either of you guys are interested.

Very cool!

I have been mapping the old logging roads to the west of Baldy North Backbone region. Been on one. Wanna go back and explore em with MTB. You in? Camp at Lupine Camp.

Doesn't look too too bad.

Did the secret police come after you?

Also thank you for the cool nickname.

Nice job, you two.

Good question. I am planning on approaching by riding up 39 to the Smith Mtn trailhead, riding up that, then descending into the canyon and so on. Would be an overnight.

Those are fantastic! Thank you guys very much!

Looking for photos of the north side of the ridge running E-W just south of Twin Peaks. There's a ridge of exposed granite running up its north side. I don't have photos of it anymore. Anyone got any? Anyone been to the summit of Twin Peaks recently and taken photos looking south?

Ridge: [latlon=34 ...

If you don't get chili and nacho cheese in your sundae, you're part of the problem and should feel shame.

Is anyone doing anything for the 4th this year, say, sitting atop a local peak and enjoying a lovely beverage?

Thanks, maybe I'll save if for a day I really feel like suffering or something. This looked promising on google maps ([latlon=34.27474894994771,-117.80825810460604]) and this ([latlon=34.274390605735995,-117.81425576156533]), which is where I think you went down. I remember seeing a bunch of water ...

Maybe. I think the bushwhacking at the bottom of the canyon was really bad. I don't think it would be worth it at all.

Thanks for posting this up, Dima. Sorry about the dirt in the eye, didn't know it was from my vertical gardening!

I would say the thing I lead was 5.easy, and the other stuff was 5.8+. I don't like grading stuff much anymore cause everyone argues over it and it ruins it for me so I just make it ...
