I have climbed part of the route from the Candy Store but headed back down after daylight ran out. I'll see what I can do once I get a bit more free time. Meanwhile, I'll write up a comment (like I did last time with Modjeska Peak) about what to improve. If the author doesn't respond by the time I get back up there (99% chance he won't since last active date is 2007), I'll take it over.
I read the section regarding the last southern California grizzly. There are several editions of this story, and I've heard the one printed here about the last grizzly being killed in Trabucco Canyon. This is likely incorrect. The last grizzly in southern California was likely killed in 1916 in Big Tujunga Canyon (although this is disputed too, but the best researched account I ever saw). You may wish to read Josh Sides' recent article on this in Natural History Magazine. You can find it here: http://www.naturalhistorymag.com/features/182751/the-sunland-grizzly.

Re: Another MountainNice! it seems like a really cool peak, but the information on it is definitely lacking.
