Yesterday I went hiking the san gabs above azusa. The place was flooded with campers but if you hiked a couple miles up it became devoid. I had to wade through rapids waist deep a few times nearly being swept downstream. On my way back I did something rather stupid and decided on some rock climbing. I reached a point on this near vertical cliff where if I made one wrong move it was probable death. A 50 foot drop I guessed was on the lines of a 50 percent chance for me. I kept climbing up for I thought I'd eventualy hit a plateau. Rock turned to dirt which is impossible to climb. Thus it was a frightening decent back down. I vowed never to do that again. Tomorrow if the stars are right a group and I are going to try rafting the trail.
