I haven't been hanging around with Dan for long. He's pretty cool though.

[Part 5/5] The down climb to the TRUE Gunsight Notch eked out a careful class 3. We were a little stymied by a 15 foot headwall near the bottom, but careful footwork deposited us safely at the bottom. We had to reckon with the reality that a 5 foot fall

[Part 3/5] Dan and I agreed to meet up for the Traverse at 11PM on Fri. Nov. 11. It would take us two hours of driving to drop a car at Mt. Baldy, and then circle back to the Heaton Flat trailhead to start our hike in the dark. The weather was pleasantly

[Part 2/5] I first heard about the San Antonio Ridge Traverse (a.k.a. Iron to Baldy) a year into my outdoor forays. The ridge was distant location, spanning the incredibly dry and remote peak, Iron Mountain, with the San Gabriel’s highest and biggest, Mt

[Part 1/5] My earliest days hiking were filled with wonder. I could scarcely find a trail that didn’t inspire feelings of awe, or appreciation of natural environs. In recent days, I won’t lie, finding a place that inspires similar experience is a real cha

Oh, my body. My BAWDY. How it aches still.

Finally knocked off the San Antonio Ridge (Iron Mtn to Mt Baldy) yesterday . it was frustrating when I was thwarted in my previous attempt, and the ridge thoroughly savaged Dan and I. It was an exhausting excursion both wild and committing. I feel confide

I'm doing homework today, but I wasn't a week ago.

From Saturday...

I love how small I feel in the mountains. Being human (akin to everyone else) I have this problem where I mostly perceive the world through my own eyes. I look at things in relation to what I do, how I feel, and what I want. I enjoy the world better when

I was supposed to be returning to the #Palisades this weekend, but my ankle and homework has kept me back. I'm a little sad. This trail turned out to be amongst my favorites. #sierranevada #sierradreams #kingscanyon #instagood #picoftheday #tbt #templecr
