"I parked at the ski lifts, climbed up Manker Canyon to the Devils Backbone, took the ridge to the summit of Harwood, hiked over and across the NE face of Baldy, down to the saddle between Baldy and Dawson, then across Dawson's south side over Fish Fork, then right down into Fish Fork, the straight up the major couloir on West Baldy's north face, then across to Baldy and down the Ski Hut Trail, across the bowl from in the trees, and then home.
