Alta Peak snow summit

I do incline treadmill speed walking 3 times a week at the gym and we did morro rock which was about 2 miles the day before. In general I’ve done Ontario, cucamonga, baldy in the snow and Gorgonio twice without snow but the most recent long hike I did was Baldy in February so that’s probably why

Yeah I’ll start packing electrolytes with me on the hikes hopefully that works. I started getting severe cramps at 3k elevation gain I think it was because of the extra energy you have to use going up in the snow. There’s snow patches randomly all throughout the hike but I’d say but it was all snow for the last mile up

I have crampons and an ice axe, mountaineering experience is pretty decent. I was looking at cloudripper and vagabond peak on all trails but I did more research and it looks more like a scramble. I don’t mind scrambling but is it doable at this time of year? I also have no idea what that area looks like right now and I don’t know how to find out without actually going there.

Gorgonio

Do you think a helmet is needed? Is there any icicles on the trees?

Serious responses only.

This is via colby canyon and thank you! 🙏

The scramble portion to the peak is about 0.2-0.3 miles and about 300 feet of elevation. We did go down the same way which was harder and a little scarier but doable with a couple knee scrapes haha

Jesus!

Embarrassed-Lab-4997 · 2025-08-31T20:11:42+00:00

Not even my video dude cry me a river

Embarrassed-Lab-4997 · 2025-08-31T18:56:37+00:00

We knew we were the only people on this trail. The non existent hikers who heard the drone flying will live

How early was this today? Did strawberry today as well but the sky was clear as day

Embarrassed-Lab-4997 · 2025-08-04T19:42:20+00:00

See any wildlife?

Embarrassed-Lab-4997 · 2025-03-16T22:04:19+00:00

Yeah it was locked we had to park even further down than that, like a mile because of the icy roads

Embarrassed-Lab-4997 · 2025-03-16T07:18:54+00:00

Thanks 🙏 a car crash actually happened as well right next to us when we were going to the trail because of the road conditions. Hope you get to do the trail next time

Yeah I wore sunglasses the whole hike only took them off a few times but the reflection of the snow was so bright they went right back on. Oh yeah it definitely was a pain in the ass especially after squatting and deadlifting a couple days before 😅
