First Ascent
Left from the Mt. Wilson trailhead in Sierra Madre. Was definitely harder than I was expecting...I think partially due to the heat. I ended up hitting Mount Harvard, Hastings Peak, and Jones Peak on the way back. Kicked my butt as I wasn't prepared for the amount of vertical or time I would be out there. Pretty sweet though.

Via Old Wilson Trail

DriversMy expectation is to always see hikers or climbers on peaks. Struck me as odd to see all of the cars!

Chantry Flats / Sturtevant CampFirst big hike and summit for my 11 year old. 16 miles round trip with 3900 feet of elevation gain. Always enjoy Stopping at Sturtevant Camp.

Chantry FlatsRun this so many times it is not worth putting a date down. Typically up from Chantry and down the Kenyon Devore (Rattlesnake) or Sturtevant trails.
