Reply To: Winter Ascent of San Gorgonio

[hikinjoe]

I am assuming that an ascent via Vivian creek is probably the safest for several reason (terrain, familiarity, distance). I think I would like to try it on a day that is clear, or at least no precipitation, but has snow on the ground and is cold. I’m guessing snow shoes would be a necessity up high where the snow is deep, but thinking it’s probably safe as long as we know how to use an ice axe.
