Laraway Family

Eric Striplin and Russ rode to the top of Bald Mountain (elev. 2,387 feet), and the view of the Bay Area was exquisite. We could actually see the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, which was approximately 25 miles north! Actually, we could see well beyond that, but what a neat landmark to be able to see from such a distance.





As usual, we had a great time. Eric is so passionate about this sport, and his passion is very contagious, dangerously contagious. The risks involved are considerable, and the work you put into the climbs is substantial. The payoff, which is nothing more than a stunning view of the Bay Area or the ability to "Bomb" down the backside of the mountain is 10 times better with another person there to share it.
