"8 peak day. Started by hiking up from Dollar Lake to the saddle and then climbing the south side of Charlton and on to Little Charlton. Dropped back to the trail at Dry Lake View camp and followed it around to south ridge of Jepson. Stashed the pack and did a quick tag of the Jepson summit (confusingly seems like a point just east is actually higher). Descending all the way down to the Dobbs ridge and followed it out to Dobbs (a weird choice for inclusion on the HPS list). Back up to the trail to join the crowds coming up from Vivian Creek to tag the San Gorgonio summit. Was super busy there, so I pressed on, dropping XC down to the Sky High trail. Never ending switchbacks contoured me around mountain, past the eerie C47 crash site memorial, down to Mineshaft Saddle, and then over through the burn zone to Fish Creek Saddle. I was starting to run low on water, but I set up camp and then headed out for a quick tag of Lake Peak and a longer-than-expected traverse over to Ten Thousand Foot Ridge. Great views of San G from this side. I was feeling a second wind when I got back to camp, so I finished out the day with an easy climb of Grinnell Mountain. All in all one of the best days ..." — edg • May 30, 2021
