| mdash | From Islip Saddle (sort of) Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2004 | |
| With my friend, Noel. Jumped out of the Jeep and tore off in the wrong direction on the PCT for a few miles before figuring out something was very wrong. Backtracked, started again, then rain and fog showed up. Crazy day. (Loved that Wally Waldron tree!) | |

| Nice climb, icy in some spots but other than that the snow was perfect. Pretty warm till wind made it a little colder on top. Perfect day. | |

| Zhenya77 | Mount Baden-Powell Ski Descent Date Climbed: Feb 9, 2008 | |
| The road was closed about 2 miles East of the Vincent Gap. I started around 12:30 pm and was near the trail head quite soon. I followed someone’s steps which climbed quite steadily. Carrying skis and not bother with skins was pretty good idea. The mountain is somewhat steep and the last hundred vertical meters did require a use of crampons. I have summited the peak at 4:35 pm. After a quick rest, I started my descent down the icy slopes. The first 10 min were unpleasant, until I reached a sheltered shadowed forest with its soft snow. The ski descent down the narrow couloir was rewarding. There was a narrow rocky portion which I decided to traverse, but other than that, the moon gave enough tonal colors to ski after the sun set (“Please do not do this, especially alone”). The hike back was under the moonlight. I was near my car around 7:30 pm. It was a good trip. The temperature could have been just a little bit cooler than 65 F. | |

| Red Truck crew doing the Ice climb up the Avalance Chutes on the Northeast face. Wear a helmet and beware of falling debris, lots of fun otherwise. Knee-deep pow on north faces down. Gonna bring a snowboard next-time. Best quality snow I've seen in SoCal. | |

| Sounds like you guys had fun... I assume you were the folks in the red truck? We were in the Outback with OR plates. | |

| mdostby | Vincent Gap Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2007 | |
| Just out for a morning workout. After Baden-Powell I hiked over to Burnham then Jogged most of the way back down to Vincent Gap. **************************************************************** Route Climbed: Dawson Saddle June 10, 2004 Perfect Southern California day, at least in the mountains. Bagged Throop Peak first, then went on to Baden-Powell and bagged Burnham Peak on the hike out. 4 1/2 hours car to car. Posted Jun 10, 2004 11:12 pm **************************************************************** Route Climbed: Vincent Gap November 17 2002 Nice morning for a hike. Met my friend Miguel at the trail head, hiked to the summit and back. Then went back to my house to go over last minute details and sort gear for our upcomming trip to Pico de Orizaba. **************************************************************** Route Climbed: Vincent Gap May 27th 2002 Decided to go out and count the switchbacks up Baden-Powell. 2 1/2 hours round trip. Counted 40 on the way up and 41 on the way down. Go figure, guess I'll have to go back and recount. Posted May 27, 2002 2:31 pm **************************************************************** Route Climbed: Vincent Gap Date Climbed: Various Times Nice hike. Have summited many many times throughout the years. Posted Nov 17, 2001 10:57 am Posted Nov 17, 2002 6:33 pm | |

| Nice early spring climb, reached summit about mid-day. Lots of folks on the summit, but I was the only one with skis, making an awesome descent down to just above the road. | |

| EManBevHills | Another Great San Gabriel Hike Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2007 | |
| My climbing partner's dog loved it, too! It did become quite a zoo by mid morning. Glad I got an early -- albeit later than Apline -- start! | |

| surgent | Nice hike Date Climbed: May 11, 2007 | |
| Battling a cold, so I went slow. Started at 7 am, saw no one until I was almost down. Kind of tedious at first but up high the views really opened up and made it worth every step. | |

| Mike Zastoupil | Sunny Warm Day Date Climbed: May 9, 2007 | |
| Had a great hike with my dog Motzie. We did not see anyone until we were walking off the top. Met a couple of guys doing the PCT. Good Luck Fireball. The sign in box at the top has no paper can the next one heading up take a note pad. | |

| Vic Hanson | A Good Workout Date Climbed: May 23, 2006 | |
| Have hiked it many times, this time was while hiking the PCT. The best route was from East Fork of the San Gabriel River, past the Bridge to Nowhere, to Vincent Gap and then down Islip to Bear Creek, a nice 3 day hike. | |
