In case you missed the last Whitney clinic at REI, our local outfitters at Adventure 16 will be holding their version in the West LA store on Friday, February 5th. Whitney expert Kurt Wedberg will be leading the informational session in store, and they’ll have permit applications on hand just in case you get extra inspired.
If the desert’s more your thing, be sure to head back on February 24th, when they’ll be serving up wine, cheese, and popcorn and screening three short films showing off the beauty of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Anza-Borrego is one of my favorite areas in all of California, and it’s definitely worth a visit – especially during the spring blooms. See below for a few recommended hikes in the area.
Both events start at 7PM and are free of charge.

I recommend Kurt’s talk highly. He is very knowledgeable and just got back from summiting Aconcagua in Argentina. He knows what he is talking about.
Anza-Borrego is awesome. I just did Villager and Rabbit Peaks this weekend. What an incredible experience. Will be posting a new blog post today sometime. I will have to go back many times to finish my peaks there.
Kurt is a cool guy! I used to work with him back in the early 90s at the WLA store. He is THE guy to ask questions about climbing and mountaineering. He’s summited Everest twice! And dig this–the guy has NEVER had frostbite!
