I was hoping that Sugarloaf Peak was the picturesque pyramidal peak I've been seeing from various vantage points in the Santa Anas. But alas, it wasn't. That pyramidal peak (which I now know is called Old Sugarloaf, thanks to an anonymous comment below) was a mile west and 100 feet higher.
The numbers: ~13 miles, ~2400 vertical feet, 4.5 hours.

Old Sugarloaf
The pyramidal peak is Old Sugarloaf (3,326'). It's peak trail ascends 550' to a class 1-2 scramble that leads to the peak register (red cans) and good views of Los Pinos peak to the NNE.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I see your friend Patrick stemming between the summit boulders, did you guys make the leap from the lower boulder to the highest? It was a little too airy for me. I went back with a rope to get the highest summit boulder.
