The San Gorgonio Backcountry Bulletin Board exists as a forum for sharing information (NOT DEBATING ISSUES) between San Gorgonio visitors. Poor water supply at a certain camp? Need trip planning or equipment advice? Discuss it here. Topics should be relevant to the San Gorgonio Wilderness, San Bernardino National Forest, other outdoor adventure areas, and associated information. SAN GORGONIO WATER SOURCE CONDITIONS

: It's a good idea to wear a helmet on
: the MR, but it is a personal choice
: as to what risk one is willing to
: accept. I do not believe this climb
: was a professionally guided climb,
: so the choice as to wearing a helmet
: and many other decisions would
: probably be left up to the
: individual climber. A lay person
: showing others a climbing route they
: are familiar with isn't typically
: held to the same standard as a

: there should be more to leading a

: That sounds cool but you still have
: to
: ask, then why were they wearing
: them?? why take them at all?
: (fashion statement?)I mean based on
: some of the photos they weren't that
: close to each other all the time.
: and on a few Ellen looks far enough
: away for a rock to gain enough mo to
: do more than just hurt. it dont make
: no sense to me.sorry

: I've been up the MR a few times and
: it
: isn't that loose of a chute. I've
: never seen rock fall come down the
: chute. You have to be more worried
: about rock fall from above on the
: East Buttress. Looking at the
: photos, it looked like Laura kept
: everyone on the left side of the
: chute, which is the safest route.
