"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Nice Climbing to SummitCame over from Jean. Getting to the very top was a little bit exciting because the winds were fierce today. Seventh peak of a loop hike that included Cornell, Miller, San Jacinto, Folly, Drury, and Jean.

Second best in the areaDid it as part of a six-peak weekend with Folly, San Jacinto, Miller, Jean, and Newton Drurry. Its a ways out their from the main trail, but worth it. Exceptional view of Suicide Rock area.

Pre-Sierra Challenge ShakedownGreat place!! I enjoyed the cross country jaunt from Wellman's Divide and up the wooded drainage...absolutely gorgeous. Thankfully, I found the ducks fairly quickly and didn't end up in a "mazanita mangle" like Deb (teehee). Also doing a circuit of Marion, Peak 10,386, Jean and San Jacinto, then back to Humber Park. Finished this circuit in 7 hours 15 minutes. Installed NEW summit register as well. It needs a new note pad to complete it.....for now it has 4 sheets of paper :P

From Wellman's Divide TrailPostcard perfect scenery this morning with fresh snow on the ground and in the trees; maybe I should have been paying attention to the trail! I took the tributary slog between Jean and Marion from just before Wellman's Divide; walking on TOP of manzanita for nearly 2 hours was NOT fun. Thank goodness for the map and compass to get me off of Marion in quicker fashion.
Awesome views from Marion summit block even with the forboding clouds coming from the south. There was a bit of whining going on as I downclimbed the summit block with all the snow and ice....good thing no one was around to hear it. :/

1 of 4 in a day - sort ofThought I was at summit from Jean when storm rolled in and lightning started flickering. Saw that I was 20 yards from summit block when my hands (were on the rock) tingled from another close strike - weighed the risk of another lightning strike, decided I wanted to live a couple of more days, hauled ass down.

Followed ridge from JeanSnowshoe outing with some assistance in the form of the tram: Cornell, Miller, San Jacinto, Folly, Drury, Jean, and Marion. Surprisingly enjoyable day for a bunch of HPS peaks--Cornell was by far the best of the lot. Summit block on Marion was icy and kind of fun.

Winter ClimbThis is the way to go. Strap on the crampons and head straight up the slope from Devil's Slide. Though in the warm sun I was a little scared of the falling rime ice(off trees). Nice views, especially in winter.
