From S. Ridge TH  Sucess!

7.5h r/t trip with Rahil. Left PCT ~1/2 mile from junction, got to peak 8792, then walked ridge to summit. Trees on ridge were burnt black from Aug 2018 (?) fire; eerie.

From PCT via Devil's Slide  Sucess!

Headed to Red Tahquitz after summiting Tahquitz. Found use trail from PCT, followed it to the top. Entire day was foggy and windy, but the clouds parted for a brief minute or two, allowing us some nice views into Coachella Valley. Motored back to trailhead to beat forecasted unfavorable weather.

Desert Divide  Sucess!

One of the peaks we bagged while approaching from the Fobes trail and leaving from the Devil's Slide. Camped about 1/2 mile to the east, and got this in the chilly morning with wind gusts. Great views!

night summit  Sucess!

Took my sister on her first backpacking trip. Camped in little tahquitz valley and summited after dinner. We hit the top as the colors in the sky were disapearing. I want to go back in winter.

Pleasant Stroll Through the Pines  Sucess!

Nice stroll from Humber Park. The "climbers trail" is easier to follow than some maintained trails I have been on. Easy to spot if you are paying attention at all. Views were incredible before clouds and wind blew in.

Devil's Slide to PCT  Sucess!

Saw the cairns for the turnoff from the PCT, but did a little extra mileage on the PCT, so I wound up ascending from the east, scrambling up the ridge from the PCT at a point approximately northeast from Red Tahquitz. Summited Peak 8792 first before heading back east to Red Tahquitz. Descended back to the PCT the correct way via the trail from Red's summit and marked it on the GPS for future reference. The extra mileage made the whole day about 12.5 miles round trip.

Route Climbed: Devil's Slide/PCT Date Climbed: 28 Sept 2005  Sucess!

Since I hit Red Tahquitz in full blown (SoCal) winter conditions previously, I thought it only right to try it again while the trail was dry. Wellll, I skirted around further east on the PCT and found myself bushwacking across the mid-section of Red Tahquitz at about 8500' and doing some fun 3rd/4th classy stuff to the summit. I'll call this the East Slope Direct. Not much sign of human footprints unless he/she was under 4' considering the low hanging branches and brush.

Decent view of several fires raging in all directions of SoCal.
