Hiked up from Colby Canyon back in the eighties a couple of times. A really fun hike and a great peak. The final scramble it lots of fun. Did it once with lots of fall snow, excellent views when it is clear.
yikes...I remember jumping when I heard that rattle from behind a rock. I didn't have to think twice about high-tailing it outta there! On the flip side, it was a lovely hike.

Strawberry Peak
Started from Red Box to Strawberry-Lawlor saddle. Nice up and downs to Strawberry summit. Did Lawlor on the way back to Red Box. Many steep sections and nasty yuccas on the descent from Lawlor.

Lawlor to Strawberry
Did Lawlor then Strawberry. Cool mountains, much different from other peaks I have done in CA.

Love the climb up from Colby Canyon. Last time made it a loop going around the trails around the north side on the return. Very nice area.

w/Lawlor
Hiked from Colby Canyon, fun and too short easy scramble, dropped down and back up to bag Lawlor since the trip to Strawberry was so short, then back to Strawberry and out Colby Canyon. Smokin' hot day. Saw a few rattlers and got shook up pretty good when I got warned by a 3.5 footer <4ft away.

Hot day
Too hot, but a fun scramble up the west ridge nonetheless.

Colby Canyon
The yucca stuck me a couple of times. Cool 3rd class scramble near the top of the peak. Did with cbuelow and Tom.

Colby Canyon
2x - Tagged it with Ol' Walsher and Tom. Nice little scramble, but it was completely socked in with a marine layer. Good thing I've enjoyed the view before.
