| My partner and I made a run for the peak hoping for some snow shoeing practice. We got the peak, but without any snow shoes. The snow made it fun and interesting, the rock made it varried. All in all, a good route. | |

| Did this little traverse with The Ass over the weekend. The tech sections were great fun (reminded me a little of the Sierra Nevadas). Traversing around the big blocks below the summit was not. We climbed far too high and ran into a wall and a cliff. Had to backtrack a few hundred yards to find passage on the right side. Would be fun to bring gear and try a true traverse of the ridge! Thanks for the Beta Deb. PS found some SMITH cop style sunglasses on the route, any claimers? | |

| Took four hours from Humber Park to the summit of Tahquitz Peak. Much slower than I expected. I spent a lot of time traversing below the crest on the right. On 2 or 3 occasions, I scrambled up toward the crest for over 100 feet on 3rd (and perhaps 4th) class rock only to get cliffed out and have to retreat all the way down again. The first half of the ridge is much more precipitous than the second half. I was solo and wished I had someone else along to share the reconnoitering. | |

| How else would I spend Mother's Day? Been wanting to do this for quite some time with Deb. Even with a hangover, things went pretty smoothly as we encountered some 5th class soloing. Best of all.....a beautiful adventuress accompanied me to make an awesome day. | |

| Was trying to do the standard hikers route up to Lily and then make the traverse to the LO. Ending up way high in the canyon and came out on the ridge at about 8400, pretty much half way between the two peaks. Pretty beat from the brush and decided to cut the difference and scramble down to Lily. Really liked this route, , lots of exposure, want to comeback and complete it. | |

| It shouldn't have taken us 4 hours to reach the lookout on Tahquitz Peak summit, but hmmmm too much wine the night before..? Good fun, exposed 5th class sections were the highlights of this trek; red ants and bushwacking definitely the low points. Nice exploration! | |
