Talk about a trip you took out to Anza Borrego

Grunt BM

Britain Posts: 609 2/24/2018	Britain Posts: 609 We started out trying to include the Gasp in this hike. But I underestimated a wee bit distances and time. But it was a fun day a bit on the cool side. Started out at 7:30. Going up, I was expecting more cactus. Wasnt too bad. Final to Grunt One of the two BM'S Well the next jump is a 1200ft climb. Our goal was if we could reach McCain by 12:00 we would continue around to Gasp. But we fill short by about 250ft. I think now doing this loop would be like 10 miles. We pulled the plug at 3 miles and a +1750 gain. On the way back we went down into the wash north of the Grunt BM. 800ft drop. We took the wrong hill to go down. Looked good from above but ended up really steep with a lot of loose rock. Few cactus though. Looking back Sandy wash out. This wash would be a better faster way to get Grunt, it would be step climb up. Took many photos of the route up to Gasp perhaps try that next week. Happy with the results, I'm in the mid 60's great day to be out. -- Cant drive 55 Britain http://icorva.com
