Mount San Antonio
On the Fourth of July Weekend my old climbing buddy, Greg Jones and I get in a bodacious conditioning run up a steep trail before joining the old crew on the John Muir Trail next week.
Wheeler Peak
After 32 years I return to activate the highest mountain in New Mexico
Pajarito Mountain
Another extremely enjoyable trip to the rim of the formidable Valles Caldera super volcano.
Cerro Grande
Cassie (KG6MZR) and I return to New Mexico for the first time in years and activate our first summit in the Land of Enchantment
Fortynine Hill
My first 10 point summit and my first summit outside of California.

The view went from intensely colorful to perfectly colorless on this “May Gray” visit to 1,821′
Reyes Peak
Pine Mountain Road opens early and my brother and I take advantage with a hike up Reyes Peak
Grass Mountain
Our attempted trip up the historic Ridge Route was thwarted by the closure of I-5. This lead to another historic trip up El Camino Viejo
