Jepson Bowl climb
Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2019 11:34 am
Howdy All,
On Good Friday, Cameron, Kalen and I went up the Jepson bowl (aka Big Draw).
The Big Draw in sight.
Approaching the top.
Looking towards San Gorgonio from where we topped out.
Looking towards San Jacinto.
Lunch on Jepson with Cameron and Kalen.
Looking towards San Gorgonio north chutes.
Looking towards Mt. Baldy. We decided to follow the ridge from Jepson to Jepson Jr, then headed down the ridge to the saddle between Jepson Jr. and Little Charlton.
Looking towards Dry Lake and Sugarloaf before we head down the ridge.
View of the ridge to the saddle between Jepson Jr and Little Charlton. Once we descended the ridge, we went up and over Little Charlton to the saddle between Little Charlton and Charlton. Then, headed up towards Charlton to gain the ridge we would descend on our way back.
Heading down the XC ski route towards South Fork meadows.
Looking back at the north chutes and Big Draw a bit below Poopout Hill.
Miles of smiles,
Ellen
