La Tuna Canyon / Chevy Chase / Griffith Park Observatory

Mike and I went out for some climbing today, and it was good. 3 'extra credit' portions and we climbed up to Griffith Park Observatory which was really freaking awesome and the first time I'd ever been up there. Biking is definitely the way to get up there, parking looks to be a real pain in the ass, and I don't know how often or where that DASH bus comes from but I imagine it doesn't get all that much use. Anywho, we set out with plans for about 2400 feet of climbing and ended up doing almost twice that much! Woot! I think for our next ride we're gonna shoot for Little Tujunga Canyon.
