I had spider webs hanging from my face, berries down my ass, scratches all over my arms, it was awesome in retrospect. A little bushwhacking is always fun, in retrospect. :D I had a similar experience going to Lookout Mountain in December. I came from Cow Canyon Saddle and took the ridge toward bum...

That looks like fun. Thanks for the great trip report. I love this picture!

Yeah, on the east side, but they were at about 8000'

I saw three Chukars today in the San Bernardino Mountains. They are neat looking birds, I didn't know we had them around here: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NmlhvnLHxJ4/TgfTyzCry8I/AAAAAAAAD2M/FhaH2MjFxzg/s640/IMG_0903.JPG https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh...

Good Job! Whats next on the list?

Thanks for the trip report! Post-holing and bushwhacking is never fun. Good luck on Mt.Whitney.

Its amazing how much snow is still in the Sierra! Great trip report, that looks like a lot of fun.

Wow, great job. You had 2.5 hours to spare, you should have added Wild View and Pine Mountain Ridge

hahaah that is great!

There is a scree slope on the west side of the drainage at about 6200'. You slog up that scree slope to a saddle then follow the ridge west to the peak.

Never heard of this one, is it shown on any maps, or is it one of those unofficially named peaks? I like odd peaks like that.

Thats definitely San Gorgonio. Big Bear Lake is barley visible under the wing, but you can see Baldwin Lake to the east

Good job! Amazing that there is still solid snow down to Lone Pine Lake!

Coors works better at altitude and low temperatures. (its made in the Rockies)

Thanks for the update Patrick. So the section between Islip Saddle and Vincent Gap will remain close for an unknown amount of time?

Amazing photos!

dang, I was expecting this to end like that grizzly man movie.

That is a great video, well done.

Nice trip report. I did a loop in the area on Sunday and there were definitely a lot of downed trees below Islip.

I believe From East Fork to Vincent Gap is 14.5 miles. Crystal Lake to East fork cross country, be prepared to loose a lot of flesh! You could hitch-hike..........

Great pics. Was that snake in your camp or on the way there??? Looked like a nice campsite.

Good job! That bowl looks awesome.

Good ride taco. I bet the ride down was fun.

hvydrt

Obviously you're not a golfer. I dont know the conditions, but I say go for it! There will probably be a little snow from the Big Horn/ Cucamunga saddle to the peak. We might get some snow from this coming storm, but it shouldn't last too long. Just go for it but be ready to turn back if you see a b...

I like that picture with the reflection of the peaks on the lake! Nice shot.

Obie, you are the man. Good stuff, I am tired just thinking about what you did.

We glissaded down part of it late June last year. It is steep near the top but looks like fun to climb up.
