Very nice, Mike. I recall climbing up Vivian Crk Trail and noting the fine-looking ridge with the steep north faces behind me to the south. Your photos are great, too!
Thanks Bob. I've hiked the Vivian Creek trail for years and every Winter I tell myself I will climb Galena Peak. The ridge and chutes look SO nice. It was fun!
Thanks John. There are a few good snow climbs in So Cal. But there needs to be snow ;) Hopefully we'll get a few more good dumps and that should set up for a couple more good climbs before the season is over. Look for a Jepson Peak page in the near future.
Great job, Mike! We gotta go back to Galena someday and climb yet another chute in the north face when there's some more consolidated snow. Excellent page!
Thanks for the vote Jaun. Not sure if this peak is any books or not because it is located on private property. I will do some checking. If anyone knows of a book that can be added, let me know.
Nice page, Mike. I didn't know about this one until I climbed San Gorgonio last Saturday - Impressive peak! Looks like those snow gullies are in great shape for a climb about now.
