After hiking a few hours steadily uphill, the trio stopped to put crampons on their boots near Helen Lake.

That’s where mountain guide Jillian Webster pulled out the nylon climbing rope and helped her clients attach it to harnesses around their waists. latimes.com/california/sto…
Roping up is one of the most “controversial and contentious” acts in climbing, according to Pete Takeda, a climber and author who collects and edits accident reports for the American Alpine Club. latimes.com/california/sto… If Takeda weren’t absolutel...
Jillian Webster’s older brother Jordan, himself an experienced climber, wonders if his sister would still be alive if they hadn’t roped up. latimes.com/california/sto…

"I’m all for cutting back on emissions. They exacerbate climate change, poison our environment and disproportionately affect minority communities, like the one I grew up in, right next to the 91 Freeway."

The refusal to do anything close to the bare minimum has made @iamdoechii one of 2022’s most buzzed-about artists.

She can elevate a track with delightfully simple melodies and deliver bars that land like a boxer’s blows. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Doechii grew up in Tampa, Fla., with her mother and two sisters. Inside the house, the energy was off the walls — her twin Aries sisters were lovably “obnoxious” but equally as creative.

Outside the family unit, Doechii kept her personality under wraps. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
She recalls her first performance at a Tampa hookah lounge, where she showed up to learn she hadn’t been booked for her artistry but for her follower count: “[I] realized they basically used me to promote the show. They didn’t even want me to perform.” latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

A mountain lion — possibly the celebrity cat known as P-22 — was spotted roaming through the Hollywood Hills, climbing and jumping off fences Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to video footage captured by residents.

latimes.com/california/sto… A mountain lion was capture...
The big cat ambled across the street in front of a doorbell camera in Beachwood Canyon around 4:40 a.m. Thursday, resident Arielle Lafuente said. The mountain lion then passed by her house again after the sun came up, around 6:30.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Officials could not immediately confirm the identity of the golden feline, but a National Parks Service spokeswoman said it was most likely P-22, whose home territory is Griffith Park.

The FBI believed that additional classified documents would be found in a search of former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, according to a heavily redacted affidavit made public Friday.

latimes.com/politics/story…
The FBI also noted in the more than 30-page document that “there is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found.”

latimes.com/politics/story…
Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart ordered the affidavit be publicly released with the Justice Department’s proposed redactions of anything that would identify people involved in the investigation, including witnesses cooperating with the FBI.

Britney Spears teamed up with Elton John for "Hold Me Closer," which serves as a kind of coming-out party following the recent legal victory that freed her from the onerous conservatorship that ruled her life and work for nearly 14 years. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The song is her first new music since her 2016 album "Glory."
latimes.com/entertainment-…
For John, a proudly admitted trend-watcher, “Hold Me Closer” registers as the latest sign of his pop savvy. latimes.com/entertainment-…
