SoCal Solstice Shred

The backcountry crew (Keith, Chris, JB) left the trailhead at 1:00 am (gasp!) bound for Mt. Jepson and a last local session.  The snowline is high, the hike brutal, the turns sublime. Summer esses in SoCal! MOAC!

2:15 am, the tiny light left of the sign is a headlamp.

SGWA 2 4/25/19

I went back to the SGWA again with Keith and Chris in late April. We walked in to Dry Lake and camped below the slopes of San G, tracking it up the next day.
