You've got to be displaying a lot of firepower before anyone mistakes you for a pot grower.

"Bravo Zulu" to you guys. A lot of great pics and landmarks.With this route seemingly becoming more popular within the last few years it'll be nice to have a "legal" option if the hammer ever comes down.

Exactly. This is what the community needs.

OK--I'm still itching to do this! Anyone wanna join me this Saturday? I'm mostly looking for someone to hold my hand through the brush navigation. I will ski down, so if you decide to take the tram down I can meet you there (don't need shuttle).

Hook up with Miguel. He's going this saturday.

I appreciate the heads up, Taco, but people have shangaied me into Jtree this weekend, Snow Creek next. Maybe I'll see some of you guys up there then?

Outta curiosity - anyone know who made the first ascent of San Jacinto's North Face - even more curious about the decade/year this happened.

The first recorded ascent was made in 1931 - link below

We may be going up later, but not on a saturday. You're free to come with if you can get a thursday or friday off.

Thanks a bunch for those links Cy, some fun readings in those - out and out amazing to my eyes and mind!

I keep hearing about this 'tunnel' area too - are there any good pics that illustrate this infamous tunnel?

I gotta get that John Robinson San Jacinto book!

Last pic is there because it's such a goddamn badass view.

The homie ZACH in them photos!!!!!!!

Thanks Taco - so that's it - that is very tunnely alright, I was think something like a rock tunnel.

At first I thought the tunnel photo might be an April 1st joke - seeing that I wasn't seeing you going through a tunnel at 85mph with a drifting ending...

And agree with ya on the looking down and back photo - plunk a cabin up there - it's a million dollar view for sure!

There's a mesa of sorts up there, on top of "the isthmus" that has the best view in the world. Perfect for a cabin.

The tunnel is fine, but if you DON'T find it, you're kinda screwed. Hard.

A hearty CONGRATULATIONS to DaddyLongLegs and thanks for a great trip report

congrats indeed.

Welcome to the suck.

Congrats and awesome TR on your Mountaineering Review, Sam

Here is another trip report with pictures

Excellent climb Sam. Hard enough without blisters.
Damn, if I don't get off the stick and get around to doing this climb I'll need to enter a lottery to get a permit

I am guiding this route (from home). Price is $500 bucks.

The Desert Water agency is illegally hassling hikers at Snow Creek

The "legal" route we took seemed to be bushwhacking most of the way to that tunnel, the tunnel was actually a nice change because it was a tunnel, go figure.

I can bring a machete to help improve the route for future folks.

as tempting as that is i would have to say negative, my bro in law is with la county fire, that wouldn't go over well.
did you see the pic of the pink bunny? i thought you would like that one.

Chopping some branches wouldn't go over well?
