Well done, Rick!
Good to see you back in the saddle again.

.. how do you guys make judgement calls on which route to take? Gut feeling based on prior success/error in similar conditions? Sorry to hijack the thread. There are four major signs that you should look for (red flags): 1. Recent Activity, other slides natural or man-made Natural slides will tell ...

Awesome! Looks great.
Thanks for the TR.

Kurt's also doing a private session the next couple of Thursdays in the bowl for a friend. Basic stuff. I can steer you to that group if you send me a pm.

Bring your skis, Norma!

My problem with bivies is not water from the outside but rather water from the inside (condensation). How is this one with condensation in cold weather? HJ They use a proprietary system called Breeze Dry-Tec . Works well for me, never had a problem with breathability in cold environments. I've used...

Niice. Thanks for the TR, Wild!

Try 6.7 oz packed.



Used it keep my down bag dry for four years now, holds tough.

Nice TR, Burchey! I got a good laugh.
Consider a waterproof bag cover to keep your down sleeping bag dry from condensation or driving snow.

Nice job, guys!

Looks like a great trip, Mark!
Well done.

Nice job, guys! Well done.

What a shot, 406!
Sarah, the hut host, said that she was yelling at them to get out of the way.

Glad they're both ok!

I was sitting at the Newport Brewery yesterday thinking about the great weekend while sipping on their latest beverage, Hoppy Ending! Started to write a TR but four Pints and 8% APV proved too much to stay focused, so here it goes: Saturday, headed to the Ski Hut at 20:30 for a night mission in balm...

Niice, 406!
Love it.

Ian and I were up there on Sunday. Great view. Don't have his Herocam data to share as of yet.

I was more thinking of meeting at the Ski Hut. It might be better than waiting around in the parking lot for people to show up, especially latecomers. I'm thinking of getting up there early and making . . . PANCAKES! Yieah, now you're talkin' .. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/im...

Great TR, Burchey!


I'm looking to head up there soon!

The VE25 is awesome and was pretty much standard issue until the lighter MH EV tents came out.

Sculpted Summit shot is awesome!
Cheers guys, well done!

SAR had to use a bulldozer to cross Trabuco Creek yesterday to search for missing hikers on Holy Jim trail. Just heard about it on the radio this morning ..

Doesn't look like it will get cold enough. The pineapple express will just wash into the ocean instead of sticking on our summits.
Overnight low temps are projected to only be 33F by Wednesday night at Baldy Village

Nice, turtle!

Beautiful photos, Elwood!
