Nice! Great pics. I love the snow up there.

I always wondered about that molested snow/rain gauge. It's just so irresistable - how can you not? :lol:

Thats the "tunnel crags" theres a topo floating around somewhere. One of the guys on RC might have it: http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/Nort ... nel_Crags/

looks like we shouldnt climb it due to the high probability of dislodging rocks landing on the road.

why must the san gabriels be 15 million years old?

everything is all loose and chossy

*science lesson mode* I think the rock is crumbly because of tectonic activity (or Teutonic, all them damn Germans), and it's a young range *science lesson mode off*

Tunnel crags is cool stuff. Loose technical climbs is where it's at, yo.
