So you saying that after I hike up a mountain, I have to hike back down? No trams, ski lifts, heli rides, what the hell is going on? Where's our tax dollars going anyway? Only savages have to walk down a mountain. Pffft!


The solution, Kevin, is to call for a rescue from the top. Riverside County will charge your home county for costs of the rescue (tax dollars at work) and you'll have an interesting TR to submit. You can call it "Mountaineering with Chutzpah: Calling for a Rescue Just Because You Can." :lol: :lol:

That hurts just thinking about it! I'm still waiting to hear about someone who ascends Snow Creek and descends c2c, now THAT would be something.


Maybe you should shoot Rick Kent an email :lol:

It is not the issue of having to walk down! It is a timing/airline issue. :D

The full round-trip, sans tram is 35 miles with 10,000 vetical feet up and down. I call it Cactus-to-Clouds; Car-to-Car or "C2C squared". Early September can be brutally hot. You might find the temperatures start to ease up a little by late September. I'll be attempting it on October 9 with a 2:00 a.m. start.

October 9th is going to be a busy day on C2C with people going up to the Clouds and then all the way back down to the Cactus. If it's not too hot out, I'll be giving it a shot too that day - probably a midnight start for me.
