Dirty Harry's Peak, Web Mountain — Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025

Super fun trip today, as Glen99, SoaringEagle, DaniilMag, and I made it up to Web Mountain Summit via the Dirty Harry's trail. SoaringEagle and I carried/used snowshoes, Glen99 carried skis, and DaniilMag carried a split board.

We took the Dirty Harry's Peak trail up to the switchback at a bit over 3400ft. Trail was snow free to just before here at the benches at 3400ft, where the trail became a bit icy. At this switchback is where the trail to Dirty Harry's Bathtub starts. This trail is pretty brushy at the start as it follows an old abandoned road, before heading into the trees. SoaringEagle and I laughed a bit, as Glenn99's skis, and DanniilMag's split board would get caught in the overhanging trees or brush. They would pay us back later though, when they passed us going downhill, as we were struggling in our snowshoes, with big smiles on their faces!!😁

SoaringEagle and I were way out in front as we made it up towards the ridge, as it was much easier going up with snowshoes as it was with skis /split board. SoaringEagle got to the ridge at 5200ft, and had an easier time getting up to the summit. I made the mistake of getting to the ridge to early at  5100ft, and had to do some scrambling with my snowshoes on, which wasn't easy. Beware of this, as the ridge below 5200ft is quite jagged.

 On our descent off of Web, us snowshoers headed down the north ridge a bit, before heading down the huge bowl. This seemed a bit easier way than the way we went up, and we made good time going down. Not as fast as those other two, who blasted by us. We all met back up down by Dirty Harry's Bathtub, and hiked back out together.

We started at 8:12am and finished at 3:36pm 9.8 miles RT with 4383 ft gain
