This was definitely a fun summit. There were multiple times on the way up and down where the Subaru had two wheels off the ground. I could have gone further up in the car, but I saw a parking spot and took it, hiking the road for a bit before hitting the trail to the summit.
The trail starts out with a couple semi-steep sections, but mellows out soon enough. I really enjoyed this hike with plenty of shade the whole way up. I ran into Mark KD7DTS, Tim K6TW, Tom KE6SRO and Carol KE6SRN on my way up. At the top I setup for HF and had some good results on VHF as well. Wrapped it up and called it a day after making one last summit-to-summit contact with Ron K6CPR over on Frazier.
It was a great time getting to meet all the ops that attended the SoCal SOTAfest campout at Mount Pinos Campground.
