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...
Hello Everyone and thanks for letting me join this great group! I've done a lot of hiking over the past 5 years, but recently decided I wanted to get more into...
Welcome aboard! Wolverton sounds like a good spot as would any of the snow parks off SR168 up that way. Keep in mind that with new snow (like you might have...
Thank you, Bob. Good advice. A pair of snow shoes would be a good investment I'm sure. I haven't checked the weather, but it sure looked from here like...
It has been pretty quiet in this group, so I thought I will share my recent fun in the snow. Just before the end of the year I decided to pack up my ski gear...
I was inspired by Michael's trip to climb something off Interstate 80, so I did likewise yesterday. I chose to visit Snow Mtn and Devils Peak on the south side...
nice is an gross understatement. If you are looking for views, i'd rate it a 9 of 10. I took my two boys a few years ago on the Pohono Trail as an overnighter....
anyone got a way to find last minute climbing parters? is there any bay area web forum similar to washingtons' cascadeclimbers.com? all you gods seem out of my...
Check in here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rock-rendezvous/ lots of stuff going on - meetings, campground reservations, requests for partners... ~r...
Great report. I would caution you on the SPOT, however. I used it during a (mistaken) 9-day attempt to 'do' the John Muir Trail north to south. We had some...
I had so much fun on Friday that I did, indeed, drive back up again to the Tahoe area yesterday. I picked another toughie from the OGUL list, about 7.5mi from...
Hi everyone - Ron Kauk is coming to Berkeley to show some slides from Yosemite, Pakistan, and film clips. While of course, there will be rock climbing shots,...
Thanks for the report and pictures. It looks like it was a beautiful day out there in the Tahoe area. This is the first I've heard of the OGUL list, but it's...
I got a pair of MSR Denali Evo Ascents. The biggest change I'm looking for is better traction on steep terrain. If they ball up less than the previous pair,...
