Hiked Mt Baldy Sat the 3rd by way of the bowl, day started out clear and cold and ended with low visibility and in the 20's. After summiting I met Kevin R , so we hiked down together. Saw one guy in sneakers and in a bit of trouble on a steep slope, A concerned hiker was helping him move slowly down. SAR was at Manker asking about a overdue hiker, Looks like this mountain is still too close to town.

Re: Mount Baldy
Looks like you had a nice hike. We missed you on Saturday!

Re: Mount Baldy
Nice photos, I'd like to get up there one of these weekends. Did you use crampons or snowshoes or were boots enough?

Re: Mount Baldy
From the base of the bowl up the crampons went on and stayed on for the descent to about a thousand feet below the ski hut. The snow was very dry, with the cold temps a surface crust would form, I would be cruising along at a good pace and all of a sudden posthole with one leg through the crust throwing my body forward. The temps are supposed to raise this week, hopefully the next dumping of snow will be a bit wetter.

Re: Mount Baldy
Shorts??? u crazy dude! Loved those summit shots, especially the one of you in shorts with the clouds beyond.
Walking outside is where I find what's inside.
