Nice trip report

. Register ridge looks like a cool route. I was also going up to Baldy yesterday, but unfourtunalty I didn't make it to the top due to my gf complaining that her knee hurt

We were trying to follow a use trail we saw that looked like it went up the stream bed just behind the ski hut. We were just exploring this route, since we we were unsure if it was possible to make it up to the Devils Backbone trail from this way.

( I think it's possible, but it's very hard on the knee's) Also on our way up I think I passed by your group heading down the ski hut trail just below the bowl I was wearing a green shirt standing to the side of the trail waiting for my gf to catch up.......

Oh yeah! You seemed a bit familiar, but hard to make out too much from an avatar photo. Nice seeing ya.

Coming down the upper part of the ski hut trail, we noticed that ridge above the ski hut too. Looks like it has potential, but its probably even steeper than RR. Might have to use hands on a lot of it.

The great thing about Baldy is all that potential. I have been down to the ski hut via various routes on the scree slope above the Hut, but have never tried to go up that way. Not a bad idea for some fun, though.
