Bridge Mountain from the north. The route is just out of view on the left hand side. This is not on the standard approach.

This is the view into the Hidden Forest from somewhere on the third pitch of the NE Arete. This is just a magical place...
NE Arete via Pine Creek Canyon. Long hike in and out with lots of vertical and highs in the 90s. First water on the way down, at the very head of the canyon: ahhhhh.....

The bridge
Bridge Mt. NE Arete
Approach as seen from flight. Follows the bridge of rock, up the crack in the slab, then to the arch by the two big pools. After this over to hidden forest and down to the left through a smallish slot canyon to the base. www.mattkuehlphoto.com
For added adventure we approached through Pine Creek the afternoon before and bivied about 300 yards west of the start of the route on a ledge with a stunning view. Somebody wasn't all the excited to see 5:00 a.m. roll around!
Rocky Gap 4x4 Road from Willow Springs on the bottom left to Bridge Mtn Trailhead near about where the road goes out of view. Bridge Mtn can be seen as the white formation in front of the Rainbow Wall and Mt. Wilson from this view. www.mattkuehlphoto.com
Looking down the first pitch just as the sun comes up. Nowhere in the world we'd rather be. The Maze is in the shadowed canyon below the route--looks like a place orcs would live.
The bridge on our decent!
