30+ miles? you're goal should be to minimize miles while maximizing elevation gain. those are the best hikes :wink:

thanks for the suggestion Ze. The description now says "This forum is for people in Southern California who like doing hardcore hikes in all seasons (15+ miles a day, 5,000ft+ elevation gain, class 3+ scrambling, snowshoeing and camping in winter)"

And brush. Don't forget heavy, dense brush. Plus bonus points for poison oak and nettles. I mean, c'mon, if you're going to get out of bed in the morning, you'd better make sure it's worth your while.

Sweet photos. If you don't have to take off your pack to get through, then it's not real brush. :wink:

It would be terrible if you couldn't listen to Justin Bieber because your headphone cord got lost in some Manzanita.
