Day 1- San Jacinto via Marion MtnThough it's allowed, I refuse to use the tram for San Jacinto. So I took Marion Mtn instead. It was a tough start to the 3 Days for my aching Achilles tendons. But they actually felt better the next day after the steep, technical 12 miles and 4,500' of gain. 14 images · 1 video |
Day 2- San Gorgonio via MoymerMost of the Gorgonio routes were still closed due to the fire. Momyer was the only route I had never taken, and the only alternative to Vivian Creek. So I decided to give it a try. Long but beautiful. 28 miles and 7,200' of gain. And an encounter with a mama bear and her cub. 50 images · 3 videos |
Day 3- San Antonio via Register RidgeFor the Baldy summit, I went with an experimental route up Register Ridge and then down the Backbone trail to the ski boundary in an attempt to get the best portion of the Backbone without the fireroad. It was a steep way to end the challenge with 5,000' of gain in just 10 miles. 30 images · 1 video |
