How not to hike the Backbone (Sec 2) on 09/27/2010 12:33:33 MDT Print View

I attempted to hike from Trippet Ranch to Malibu Creek and fate had it that I was not destined to make it. Watch the comedic journey and my ultimate demise as I melt in the heat of the California summer.

I'm going to try again this coming weekend. The trail is about 13 miles and is straight up the whole way. Well, i've only made it the first 8 but I've talked to others about the other half. With the temps in the low 60s to mid 70s it should be a completely different trip. I'll report back soon, hopefully with a success.

Matthew,
I appreciate the honesty of your video. Despite the heat, it looks like you had fun. I hope to see more of you and a progression of your trips.

Thanks for sharing,
Tom
