    January 15th I slogged my way through thigh deep snow to the top of Mt. Baldy. I tried on the 9th but turned back below Hellcat Bowl when I ran into a guy on snowshoes who said it was waist deep and blowing pretty good ahead. I came back the next week with crampons and an ice axe, but stuck close to the actual trail because I haven’t trained with them and wasn’t foolhardy enough to try to fake my way up the Bowl. It was a great hike. I love it every time I summit Mt. Baldy. At least in retrospect. When the discomfort fades from mind.

    Hi Jeff. Once a hike is logged, is it automatically entered into the Wall Of Fame? I entered my last hike San Bernardino last night 5/20 but not showing up on the Wall. Do I need to enter this hike again? Thank you.

    Jeff, when sorting by my name I could see the 5/20 San Bernardino logged hike. But when sorting by date, it does not appear. Any reason for this? Thank you.

    Yes, when you get the confirmation that your hike is logged, it’s automatically added to the Wall of Fame. The part that is not automatic (yet) is the addition of the badge on your profile. We currently add those badges after we review the log, which can be delayed by a week or so.

    And you have discovered one of the reasons my hair is graying! The reason for this has to do with caching. We use caching on the server to speed up pages so they load faster, but the downside is that you sometimes don’t see any recent changes (like your just-added hike).

    As you discovered, if you sort using a different criteria, or do a search of the Wall of Fame, you’ll usually see your entry right away, mainly because it’s creating a new “version” of the page for you (i.e. “not cached”).

    I’m looking at ways to improve this, but hopefully that explains why this happens.

    I also just entered 2 of my hikes from this month, but they have not come up. I will wait a couple days before following up again, im sure your last response kind of answers my question.

    Can’t wait to slay the 4 other peaks in the next couple months!

    Hey Kalvin! Just to let you know, as soon as you log your hikes, they will be in the database and are SEARCHABLE from the Wall of Fame. Use the search box on that page and look for your name, and you should see all of your logged hikes right away.

    The badges are added manually after reviewing the hike logs.

    Oh, and you’re first two hike logs were reviewed today. Congrats! Badges added. 😉

    Jeff, I logged on my San Bernardino hike but for some reason it got logged as a Cucamonga Peak hike even though I chose San Bernardino Peak from the pulldown menu. The entry and photos though make it clear that my third logged hike was San Benardino Peak not Cucamonga. Is there a way the entry can be corrected and the correct peak credited? Thanks.
