Tom Becht and I had a fine outing to Kern Peak on Monday. Nice weather. I got to junction of Nine Mile Canyon Rd and US395 shortly after midnight, finding...
Hi everyone, anyone hike down to the mouth of Bridevail from glacier point road? was looking at the topo today and thought maybe it would be a nice view of el...
I haven't done that hike (though it looks like a fun adventure), but I've been near the top of the falls while climbing nearby Cathedral Rocks via the...
David, Not to Bridevale, but I've done the hike to Dewey Point just west of there. It's right across from El Cap. and has an established trail in Summer and...
My understanding is that it is extremely difficult to go down from Glacier Point Road. Going up Gunsite or Cathedral Gully I think are your best bets. --On...
I headed out for a Monday hike to Tunemah, one of the hardest dayhikes on the SPS list. Matthew had done this in conjunction with Finger Peak in something like...
The peaklet between the Sisters and Dogtooth above Frog lake has much the same views and is a simple walkup.(and was the only thing snow free when I was up...
I hadn't been successful on my last couple peak-bagging attempts in the Sierra, so I was glad when I got to the summit of Mount Rixford yesterday. Mount...
I forgot to add - the last entry in Rixford's summit register was Bob's on September 14th on his Cotter/Fin Dome/Painted Lady/Rixford tour (all in one day). ...
Kathy, Doesn't look like much snow has hit so far. My company decided to shut down for the Thanksgiving week and I was hoping to get up Mt. Langley before the...
I've heard it gets gated, but I've never gone up there to check it out. Climber.org says it sometimes gets gated as low as 5500' where it crosses Carol Creek:...
I think I may have had my last outing to the High Sierra this season last Friday with an outing to Red Kaweah. Matthew had dayhiked this a month earlier, but...
Somehow after all of your epic hikes I feel urged to comment. A brief look at a map tells me your trip was conservatively 15 miles and 10K feet - one way. All...
You guys are amazing. I was really surprised to see this site, as I have seen so many of your names on registers. I have also viewed lots of trip reports that...
So excited to join! Been using SP along with Secor as my bible for the last few years. SP definitely encouraged me to try far more ambitious climbs than I...
Welcome Avery! Good to see more traffic on the site. I can offer input on a few of your questions: 1) I think Rodgers via Marie Lakes was fairly tame, easier...
Ok not Sierra, but it's a little slow around here. I came down to SoCal to get some HPS peaks for the first four days of the week. I was in Joshua Tree...
Talk about underestimating. It seemed good on paper, and by the look of the 7.5' topo it appeared to be a nice ridge hike down a gently graded ridgeline. We...
Hey everyone, i got xmas off and wanted to head somewhere on the east side. was wondering what the conditions were at whitney or onion valley/kersage thanks...
Or ask over at http://www.summitpost.org in the California forum - there might not be as many experts on Whitney as on the Whitney forum, but there might be...
thanks! looks like with the impending artic blast (just found out about it today) things will change drastically by the end of next week.... ... From: Kathy...
Yes, I've been watching the weather too and it doesn't look great for this weekend. I was going to head to the Sentinel Peak in the Panamints, but I don't...
Hey Kathy, better to stay inside this time i think. some say this weekend for the blast others are saying monday AND tuesday... whenever it hits its gonna be...
Not me, but then I don't live near a peak worthy of that many ascents. I was somewhat astonished when I was in Joshua Tree earlier in the month to see that...
Ø but then I don't live near a peak worthy of that many ascents. I’m not sure Quail meets that qualification either J Nice view tho. What route does he...
