EISPIRATEN

The authorities were contacted and they were found early this morning. One in the group was injured and they are making their way back down. Thanks.

I am posting this on behalf of a friend, so I may not have the best information. A group of 6-8 hikers were to summit San G via Vivian Creek today and were to return by 5-6pm. As of this time they have not returned and their car is still in the parking lot. They started at about 7-8am this morning. ...

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I'm really sad I missed a day like this up there. It had to have been the best day up there since last winter. Oh well, there's always next winter. I almost ditched my sons baseball game to head up, but decided to go and take them for some snow-play in San Gorgonio on Su...

I hope he finds a good new home.

those pics in your blog are awesome. all done with an iphone? Hey, thanks! Not all the photos on the blog are from my iPhone. The pics from the last post were taken from my iPhone 4 using the Camera+ app to edit. Pretty much everything I have done in the last 4 months has been from the iPhone. I la...

Took off from the South Fork TH on Saturday, starting fairly late at about 10:00am. The trail was snow free until about halfway between Poopout and the SF/Lost Creek Junction. We hit SF Meadows, put the snowshoes on and headed south towards Jepson. We hit 9400ft and then headed east until we hit the...

I went to the top yesterday. Marginal snow coverage and fairly icy, but manageable going up to the ridge through the trees past ski hut. Quite a bit of people descending the bowl with no snow. No snow up top either.

That was intense.

Is one axe enough or are ice tools required? If one axe I want in on the next trip! According to http://www.calimountains.com/content.ph ... I-WI2-780m , the gear description reads "-Axe or two tools: One can bypass the pitches of ice." Sounds like you may be able to work with just your a...

I am very interested in this! Sounds a lot better than paying REI a million dollars. Hopefully winter shows up sometime soon.

This route looks AMAZING!!! A little beyond my skills and abilities I'd say. It makes my trip up BP today look like childs play. Good stuff Taco and sorry about the car.

Heck yeah! Can't wait to see the pics. Going up in 7hrs, so I probably won't see them until I'm back. Looking forward to some BP winter fun finally!

I was up on the 12th. TR here http://members.boardhost.com/sgva/msg/1326495740.html. The storm which will roll in tomorrow is sure to change things a bit. It's pretty easy going to Dry Lake. About a 1/4mile past the lake snowshoes and crampons/axe will help a lot. Have fun!

I'm so jealous. Beautiful!

I'm diggin' the iPhone pic of Lone Pine Peak and Whitney jmac. Very retro. -Rico Hey, thanks! I was surprised how nice that came out coming from the iPhone. I used the instagram(app) on it. I really liked the contrast of all the different colors as they changed from the foreground to background, an...

Great pictures! The bears are cute... did they bother you at all? Na. They didn't bother us at all. They were pretty far from us across a deep canyon. Momma noticed us and just shrugged us off and continued eating her meal. It was awesome to see. I have seen a quite a few bears, but this is the fir...

My friend just emailed me these from our trip.
Mamma bear and her cub.

Thanks guys! It was a blast. We actually left early because of weather on our trip, too. It turned pretty ugly on the day we planned to head up to the Glacier, and with thunderstorms in the forecast we decided not to go up. Glad we only got a dusting and not 8ft. with the beginning of the storm. :lo...

Hooray! My first TR. Warning. My easy-going trip may not be as exciting as some of the mountaineering/canyoneering trips on here, which are absolutely awesome! Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy. :D A friend and I headed up to Big Pine Lakes on June 27th for a 3 day/2 night mini-adventure. I have to admi...

Just got my stickers! Thank you!

Thanks!!

I have been meaning to write this introduction for a while now. Sorry, I have been super busy lately. I have been a stalker around these parts for quite a while and would like to express my appreciation for all the great information that is provided on this forum. There is such a nice group of peopl...

Thanks Jim.

I can work up an online map if you're interested. Tom Harrison Maps puts out an Angeles Front Country map which I can also recommend. HJ Thank you. I plan on picking up Tom Harrison Maps for the area, but it would be awesome to see an online map if it's not too much trouble. I really appreciate how...

Thank you for the Icehouse info.
Looks like we will be heading to the Mt Wilson area! He's excited. Thank you. I can't wait until he is old enough to strap on a pair of crampons for a winter accent!
