Continuing with my Whitney training, yesterday I hiked to Mt Baldy via Register Ridge trail. I'm giving myself credit for reaching the top of the ridge faster than the last time I was there and summing Baldy quicker too.
I've been struggling with trying to go faster and it's really depressing so yesterday I decided screw it! As long as I make it to the top of Whitney that's all that matters.
As I descended Ski Hut trail it got really hot. I took a break cooled off at the spring re-filled my water bottles.
Anyways, it was a beautiful day on Mt Baldy. Nice breezes at the top and only a few hikers.

Here's Bob Pickering's 40th Mt Whitney Summit report. You're in good company!
I've only done Baldy twice, via Notch Backbone and via Pine-Dawson Backbone. Both were overnight trips, and the drive was the most arduous part of the ascent.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Dima- Baldy is in second place. The peak I have submitted the most is West Fuji. 50 times and I love that trail the Lone Tree trail that Sean restored.
