It was a fun day, bagging an interesting & dangerous (relative speaking)
peak without sunburn.
hahaha |

发帖数: 11530 | 4 This was my 3rd consecutive 15+mi/4300+ft hike this year. It was a world of
grey...
Not sure if that snowy peak is Baldy. Taken with zoom. The sky was openned
up little bit over there :-) |

NO WAY I would hike this one in heavy fog, in darkness or icy conditons.
Couple hundred feet straight drop from the top on the East and North sides. |

发帖数: 11530 | 6 This weekend will be much cooler. If I am lucky, I may be able to see fresh
snow on ground that day.
Good time to do the 2013 4th 17mi/4500' hike to celebrate Chinese New Year?!
I have to start very early though, party (first real party in 2013) in the
evening...

发帖数: 11530 | 8 I notice one thing:
Cali sun (esp at higher altitude) has progressively made me look darker and
darker...
No "pain" no gain :-( |

发帖数: 11530 | 19 Hmm, thinking of doing a 5500'/20mi hike...

发帖数: 11530 | 33 Confirm cancellation of #5 4500+'/16+mi hike.
But I shall do a short quick hike, like a stroll in a "park", before back to
be a SLAVE.

发帖数: 11530 | 36 Weather should be better, much cooler.
Don't like hiking in the heat, low to mid-40's would be ideal... |

发帖数: 11530 | 37 Planned destination predicted will be in hi 30's. Good enough. |

发帖数: 11530 | 38
Let it snow, let it snow...
Destination windchill in low 30's...
Cool! |

发帖数: 11530 | 39 Would like to do double peaks (5300'/19mi) this time...
If I could start early...
hahaha |
|
W***n
发帖数: 11530 | 40 Actually, don't know if I could do double peaks. One of the peaks is real
dangerous with snow & ice on top of it.
I shall make a decision when I am there...

1.没铺好的路

3.没寺庙亭台楼阁桥栈道，没古人题字现代导游讲解。

5000 years vs 200 years
the reason is too obvious |

W***n
发帖数: 11530 | 44 铺好的路?
I don't like this idea.
The mountains should stay as natural as possible. |

发帖数: 11530 | 47 Plan 1:
Go up Lion Peak #1 with 1000'straight drops on east & northeast sides,
without winter gear. Stay as long as daylight permits.
4500'/16mi
Plan 2:
Do plan 1, then rush down and scale Lion Peak #2.
5400'/19mi
Sounds exciting
ha ha ha |
