Hi, I'm Matt.

I created this website to share my beta for peakbagging routes across Southern California and beyond. To date, I have published 60 trip reports complete with stats, photos and GPS tracks. I hope you find them useful for planning your next adventure!

I'm always looking for new hiking buddies. Don't hestitate to reach out if you'd like to join me on a future trip, or just chat about landscape photography, car camping hacks, plant-based recipes… whatever! You can find me on

See you out there! 🥾
