Ontario Peak 6/14
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:50 pm
Started around 3:30am. Weather reports the previous day talked about temp in the mid 90's. Since I figured I can't beat the heat, I decided to get my ass out of the bed crazy early.
Really quiet, dark night. Got to Ice house saddle around 5am. Baldy still shows patches of snow but nothing major. Got to Kelly camp and ate some breakfast. Still a few patches of sleet and snow there.
Made to Ontario Peak around 8am. On the way down, I saw that "someone" had kicked and broken the marker poles to Cucamonga Peak and Comanche trail. I dug a hole and use rocks to steady both poles...
Got back to my car around 10am. Beats a day at the office.
Now, the crappy pictures...
