And why is this sign here? No other trail junction, just randomly posted. That's easy. It's there to hold the bottle opener! :D https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1429861/IMG_4987.jpg Although the location does seem a bit odd, I think the original intent of the sign was...

It's only about 25 yards from the pipe. I took this photo last Oct. Other spring location https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1369429/Location of other spring.jpg So, basically just downstream. Interesting that they only repaired one of the pipes (there used to be two). ...

You didn't miss much

My son and I did the exact same hike yesterday, starting at around 7:30a. It was my first time on the very cool Rim Trail, and as you said, it's in great shape. It was tempting at Newcomb Pass to head down and check out the West Fork trail as well, but we had to get home to watch some football!

Nice! With all the bitchen scenery to look at, I'd prolly have gnarfed up knees from falling all the time if I ran those trails.

Hiked up to the Ski Hut last night with Phil. The storm on Monday was a bit of a disappointment.

Richard~I only saw a few downed trees; expected to see more. The one that fell across the trail was the largest.

Stopped by Kelly Spring last night and as one might expect, it's pretty much closed for the season. Spring flow: ~1 drop/min https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1202146/IMG_9929001.jpg Nipply temps https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1202147/IM...

Great pics of an awesome hike! When I did it we had planned on doing Aqua/Tensor as well, but ran out of water, daylight and energy (not necessarily in that order).

Sorry I missed you guys, Jeff S., Shin, Frank, Richard P were up there and we missed them, then Ty and I came along, funny three groups from this board were on the mountain at the same time and we all missed each other. Nice pictures - hope to see you guys soon :D Not if I see you first! :lol: Just...

Phil (lik2hik) and I hiked up Baldy Saturday with thoughts of a Iron Mtn yo-yo, but we wimped out when we got a taste of the arctic winds blowing in from the west. Plus, the San Antonio Ridge was pretty well socked in and there would be little or no of that solar heat stuff I've become so fond of. S...

Nice tour, Ira! Where is the Buckhorn ski lodge located? I've only hiked Waterman a couple of times and never noticed it.

Thanks for the timely report, Frank!

I'll bet. I'm ascared of the new site anyway. It's all cool and hip looking and I'm not.

Good job on Sill, your Burchness. Too bad you guys missed the Swiss, but next time you'll walk right up.

Nice pix and good pace!

The "Bye-bye" pic is priceless!
I saw Kathy W's TR from the Aspen Grove a couple of weeks ago and must admit that it's an area of the SGW I've never explored. Which way to the Grove?

Thanks for the info, Alan. I was wondering how white things were up there: not very

Yer all nuts!

Looks like you guys had a great hike on Saturday! I ended up sleeping in and doing a viper-free trek over Gorgonio way.

Great photos of a beautiful area, Richard. And those are some big trout!
Is the Bunny Rabbit snowfield still there?

Oh boy, thanks Dave. That is not where we were. Just like on Snow Creek where I blew by the actual 3rd class bypass and went up some crazy garbage in the dark - we must have passed this up. We actually climbed up below a huge boulder, and the traversed right on a tiny exposed ledge with no hands. H...

Great work guys!! :D The bypass just below the chockstone on T-Bolt's SW chute starts with the sloping ledge on the right. You just follow that back until it peters out and then it's a couple of 3rd class moves to get back into the correct chute. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.o...

Stopped by Kelly Camp this morning and tanked up. It took 4:05 to get 3 liters, so the current flow rate is roughly 3/4 liter per minute. Tasty, too!

Really nice pics, Torrey. What a cool place to live!

ok, thisll make me look stupid...but so how far and in what time did you do this? All i see is a picture of a topo map i dont know how to read.--its just a buncha squigly lines ...no readable milage to me ...so what was yer distance, time, elevation, terrain please for trailrunning stuffs? :D Also!...

Did you find any WWII-era Japanese spy equipment? Sounds like there's an interesting story here... what did I miss? I did collect a few of what looked like multi-layer insulation blankets from some form of reconnaissance craft. But why the Japanese would mark them "You're My Sweetie!" and...

Awesome adventures, Mark. Looks like you've got yourself a budding mountaineer there with son Jack!

Great work you guys, salvaging a summit from the soggy weekend. Don't know if I'd want to rock n roll up the wobbly NW Ridge in the dark, tho!:shock:
Beautiful shot from the top through the clouds, Patrick.8)

*1x 12ft double-thickness retrievable webbing anchor (gives lots of extension, came in REALLY handy, very happy with it. :-) ) Got a pic? Or is it "patent pending"? :wink: I'm immune to Poison Oak, so I got out OK despite crawling through it and clearing as much as possible for her. She i...
