Sorry that my camera isnt all that great but it got the job done.

#11 scares me. It looks like they're going to fall off!


How long did the climb take you? Looks like you had fun :)

It took us like 45 to 1 hour.

hahaha cool, i was gonna ask if that was northern california......i guess its southern huh...

Totally cool. I know exactly which mountain you climbed. I grew up in the Riverside area. It's right above UCR to the northeast of the campus.

Have you ever tried to get to the top of Box Springs Mountain? (the one with the "C" on it facing UCR and it has all the transmission towers at the top) I did that a couple of times. As of a few years ago you could still drive up a dirt road to the top. Box Springs is about 1,000 feet higher than the mountain you climbed and has even greater views. To get there you go through Moreno Valley via Pigeon Pass Road.

Yeah I have driven to pigeon pass, and I have sat on the "C". Pretty cool, I have also biked box springs too.
