Climbing Forums for California?
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2021 8:36 am
Anyone know of a good online forum, one that is actually used, to get current conditions on California peaks?
Thanks. I couldn't find anything similar to the trip reports we have here. For the very popular routes I use Alltrails, but it fails for the less traveled peaks.ellenmseb wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:29 pm There is not really an equivalent to 14ers.com.
peakbagger.com - conditions, GPX
snwburd.com - route description: Hard to believe 1 person provides some of the best route descriptions, but it's true
summitpost - route descriptions, forum is inactive
mountainproject - climbing/mountaineering partners, not hiking
book: High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, Trails by Secor
peakbagger is the best source for trip reports. eg: list of ascents of Mt Whitney: https://www.peakbagger.com/climber/Peak ... =ft&y=9999ker0uac wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:18 pmThanks.

the abbreviation "TR" means there's a trip report, but even the concentration of non-TR ascents can give you an idea of what time of year it's reasonable to attempt that peak.
