Great video, enoyed it. I personally, at this point anyways, do not have any desire to make those winter ascents. Your video solidifies that thought. I guess once you do it though, you experience the satisfaction of the trip?

Has anyone recently been up that trail from humber park to the summit of san jacinto peak in the last few days or week?

i am considering hiking/skinning up that trail to san jacinto peak and then skiing down.... i was wondering how much snow coverage there is the trail given all this new snow. thanks!

Wifey and I have been trying to get up to Scodie Mountain for a while now. Our timing has always been a bit off; too hot or too cold. I can't say the weather was perfect but we were determined.

We camped under Heller Rocks just in case bad weather up high forced us to find something to do lower down. There were a few flurrys on Owens Peak but I'll be horn-swaggled if ...

Does anyone know if you can ascend the Southeast face route with a 50 M rope or is a 60 M required? Also, does anyone have any beta on tsunami (5.7 according to Secor)?

Hi!

I'm planning on moving down from Davis/Vacaville area to San Jose area, and looking for great areas to go bouldering doing the midweek (besides Castle Rock)...so, are there any other cool areas to go to?

-How is Indian Joe Caves?
-Any other secret spots that is great for bouldering?
-trying to avoid the gym, if possible, so help a brother out!

thanx so much!

We had a club trip (http://alpine.caltech.edu) to Mt. Baldy on two weekends in Mid February, and people lost a pair of club snowshoes and a club ice axe, as well as a personal pair of snowshoes. The club gear is marked with our club acronym "CAC".

If you found any gear, please let me know. Thanks!

Hoping to try a new route (for me) on Shasta in mid-April. Which would be better, Casaval Ridge or Hotlum-Bolam Ridge?

What are the chances that the HBR trailhead will even be open?

Thanks.
