Well I'm coming up on my first real winter of exploring SoCal and have been thoroughly enjoying my first full year outside here.
I made it up the Three Saints (largely without cheating save a ride down the lift @ Baldy after going up past the ski hut.) Ascended via 3 west face trails up SJ and went Vivian Creek up SG (jawdropping, I saw Catalina over the Saddleback.) Tackled a couple of other prominent routes near the house (Palomar, etc.)
Now I'm looking for some suggestions on what's next, feeling out some routes, and looking to make some frinds. Wife suggested I drop the mileage down a little but she doesn't realize a 1 hr. drive and 10 miles is no different to my friends than a 2 hr. drive and 15 miles. Sooooo...
Has anyone done a traverse from Toro S all the way to the Hwy S of Villager Pk? I've been craving the S acsent of Rabbit/Villager all Summer when I'm out that way but I've got to find some like minded fools.
Also, wrong post but where am I most likely to find/schedule a trip to Pichaco del Diablo? My guess is between here and SGWA but just a question.
Any suggestions or new spots I should be checkin' out are greatly appreciated. Cheers!
