At 0545 Sunday morning, Turtle and I headed up from the Angelus Oaks trailhead after having dropped a car at Vivian Creek. We reached the shuttle car around 1822, twelve hours and thirty-seven minutes later. While I knew we would be attempting to hike through to San Gorgonio Mountain, I was unsure that we would be attempting the 9 peaks. A short ways up 1W07 we started leapfrogging Hvydrt and Jeremy. Hvydrt joined Turtle and me for the 25-mile, 9-peak extravaganza. I was dragging enough to have turned on towards Little Charlton, bypassing its big brother's summit by around 100 horizontal feet. It was cool and windy for most of the day.
