EISPIRATEN

Would anyone be up for a one-day trip up Mt. Baldy this coming Sunday?

Or any peak relatively near Claremont, CA.

Probably. I wanna test out a new sleeping bag I got. Go up, spend the night, read some of the Pokemon books Edenooch gave me, you know the deal.

How about an adventurous hike up Ontario from within Icehouse? Beats the trails. It's "shorter", which is easier, right?

mine exploration!!!

For some reason I feel like it might not be easier... haha I'm down.

If you want to over-night it, I can do Saturday night.

I might be down for saturday night.

Great! No drinking for me on a friday, so I won't bail on you this time.

Cool deal. Figure we'll go up Fir Draw or thereabouts to Ontario Peak.

Up for a 3rd joining? I'll bring sake!

The more the merrier

This is starting to sound interesting. Keep me posted, if you guys definately do this, I may pop in about 2am or so. I'll bring the (breakfast) Sushi.

I don't think I have anything japanese to bring to the party TBH.

I might be able to snag a whisperlight, or at least fuel, if you guys want to have hot drinks or anything else heated up.

Maybe you can find some nice little Geisha's.

I'm in college, so I probably could

Of course, they're a b**** to pack in, and Leave no Trace means we can't just leave them on the mountain when we are done.

If Saturday night, I can be at the Ricehouse parking lot around 8pm. Wadayaguys think, camp out on top of Sugarloaf or Ontario? Ontario would be nice. I don't want to go up Fir Draw at night, as I've got a lot I want to see in there. Falling Rock Canyon should be good at night, though.

Wait 8:00 as in 20:00? So hiking in the night? That just makes it better haha.

Seeing as I haven't climbed any of these places, you can make the call where to camp. Just lemme know what I need to bring. Pretty standard affair I assume, but do you recommend just a tarp, a tent? I'm not familiar with the area so I don't really know what to expect. I assume KISS applies though haha

Yep, 2000 hours.

Reckon you'd do fine with a sleeping bag and a tarp. I usually pack a bivy bag as standard. Keeps some of the wind off ya, though we'll likely be in a sheltered spot.

Standard gear otherwise, nothing special. I'd bring a single trekking pole to deal with the hike up Falling Rock Canyon, which gets loose at the top.

How dfficult is the hike in? Ive got a jetboil I planned on bringing for some warm stuff.

Warm saki?

this interests me... room for one more?

Plenty of room. Hey, I've since changed plans slightly. Let's camp out atop Sugarloaf. I was up there yesterday and the summit is big enough for a nice group.

BIG PROBLEM... my 'rolla won't start, can anyone give me a ride from West Covina off the 10 and Azusa?

Oh... I was gonna try to steal a place in Taco's vehicle. Anyone wanna come grab me from Claremont?

You can sit in my car, it just won't be moving!

Just in case anyone misses the last page... can anyone spare a ride???

"Don't take the Saki, you'll killlllllllllllll yourself!!!"

And spare a ride for me too

Ive got room(no heater/ac in my car tho haha, spent all my money on camping gear) in my car but I wasnt planning on heading out until around 9:30-10:00, wanted to pick up a friend and take her up as well.

Could you swing by Claremont?

And I know I'm mooching off y'all, but if anyone's got extra trekking poles I'd be very thankful. I can manage without so if you don't have any, no worries.

I'm down for that. I don't have to be there by 8. I figure we could all meet up either at the Icehouse Canyon parking lot at whatever time, or at the summit at whatever time.

I'm down for anytime Saturday as well. I just want to get out and hike sometime before sunday, and then sunday as well.

Dang - you guys are making this difficult to meet-up with ya. I thought you were all starting about 8pm. I was going to bring up a case of "surprises". But now it seems that if Taco and CMC get a ride from Funyan005, it won't be until 10pm or so.

If thats the case, then I will prolly pass on this night hike.

GET A CAR FOOLS!!!!!

Disregard, I have a vehicle. I'll be meeting up there at 2000/8pm. CMC, I'll pick you up around 1930.

Big D, you goin' around 8?

Wanna all meet at the summit for folks arriving later?
