From Vivian Creek via West Ridge
This was my last official 10K' peak in the San Gorgonio area, so I wanted to do it in style, via the steep West Ridge. Loved the relentless climb. Route not hard to follow if no snow. Continued on to Little Dobbs, then to Jepson and finally to Gorgonio.

West Ridge Solo
7 hours CTC and lots of sore muscles below the belt. Not a very exciting trek but it's done and I was happy to go thru snow up to my knees for a bit.

Vivian loop
Climbed Dobbs on my way down from Gorgonio and Jepson Peak.
Up the West Ridge, then on to Jepson & Charlton. Perfect weather all day with no wind at all. On the way back from the summit of Dobbs, managed to get going too far southwest and off the west ridge because I wasn't paying attention. It started to get steeper than I remebered on the way up so I knew something was wrong. I was able to bushwhack back to the west ridge, but probably cost myself half an hour. Maybe next time I'll look at the compass in my pocket before heading off just assuming I know where I'm going. Probably not though.

Southwest Drainage to West Ridge
It took us 12 hours car-to-car to do this route in unconsolidated snow. We were only on the West Ridge for the final 500 vertical feet. Here is my trip report.

Six Peak Loop
I along with my friend, Chris, approached Dobbs by descending from Jepson. We did East Dobbs first then walked to Dobbs and then re-traced our path back up to the San Bernardino Divide Trail and on to Little Charlton.

Nice view of higher peaks
Did this on Christmas Eve. I attempted it about a year ago and gave up hopelessly bogged down in bushes trying to follow the route specified on Garmin's topo software. That was my last time using the GPS for route finding. This time I took the direct ridge route and was able to circumvent most of the bushes. Plenty of snow from about 9K up. Perfect view of Jepson, San Gorgonio, Dragon Head and Bighorm from the summit.

Great hike. Ascended Moymer Trail, hit all 9 peaks (excluding Mnt San Gorgonio and including Dobbs Peak) and descended bia Dobbs West Ridge. Check out my Trip Report.
Hiked up the West Ridge from Vivian Creek Camp. Today was a rare Sept. winter-type day with rain most of day, some snow and so cold that we all had icicles sticking to our clothing and packs.
