EISPIRATEN

I dont know how many questions I get before I wear out my welcome here, but... Does anyone know what fire damage is like in the area? Are many portions of this trail from Cloudburst to Vincent Gap badly burned? I'm pretty sure the east of that it should be clear. I'm probably going down vincent gulc...

Okay Taco, your off the hook! I'm gonna sound like a total noob here but....wow that map is killer! Ive never see one of these! Thanks HJ, HikeUp, Taco, and whoever else!!!

Excellent, looks like my planned trip will be a cinch thanks to your help. i still dont see any map though, so i dont see any of the waypoints your talking about. Am I missing something?

Great info. Is this all based on info from the last time you hiked it? when was that? I'm not able to see a map, did you forget to post a link maybe? thanks again.

I'm planning an eastbound hike across the Angeles Crest. We want to end at Lytle or Manker flats but I'm not sure how far west we can start. Has anyone been up there lately? If we wanted to avoid the burn areas where abouts on the PCT could we start our hike? Could one drive up Hwy 2 to Three Points...

Norma, thanks for the heads up. that seminar sounds awesome but that kind of money is out of reach for me, thanks.

Yeah Taco, I would like that. If anyone else out there is interested in meeting on the mountain for some basic mountaineering clinics chime in please. I would definitely be interested.

I'll post up when i get to that point. First i need to learn a few things though. i went up and practiced my self arrest for a couple hours. that was cool but i need to find faster slopes now to test properly.

Yeah your probably right. Thats why i was interested in more of a practice session up in the bowl area. to climb baldy i probably need more practice and an experienced person to take me up there the first time.

Hey everyone, Brand new to the forums here. Looks like a great resource so far, I'm stoked to have folks to chat with about my home mountain range! Anyway, I'm an avid hiker and Baldy is my local trail. Now it's covered in snow so I'm looking to develop some skills to get up there. Any other rookies...
