May 9 on Mt Baden-Powell

Climbed the mountain today with hiking buddy Mark, and it was a great day. Here's the view of the Antelope Valley from the north face, near the summit. The top several hundred feet or so was still under snow, which actually is part of the reason to go during this season. Also the summit was weirdly swarming with ladybugs, a kajillion of em, flying around, landing on you, bumping into your head (VIDEO, no sound). On the drive home I got this great snapshot of Iron Mountain and the East Fork from Inspiration Point. The East Fork is the deepest gorge in southern California, even deeper than Grand Canyon.
