We signed on so that we would be safe from objective hazards, like avalanche and flying rape-bears.


"HEY, IS THAT BALDY?!?!?!?!"
We didn't remember some information about the Ski hut, so we decided to check the internets on my new phone.



No connection. I used win and LOL to get that page up (checked the previous night).
We went up the trail, and I said hello to my favorite terrain feature. I really love this terrain feature.

On a serious note, we checked out "Piton Rock", more properly known as that bigass damn rock in the bowl that you pass along the ski hut trail. I didn't see any pitons.

Yup

Go up that little easy dihedral-ly section.

This one, damnit

On top, look at them bolts.

BOLT

Uhhhh....

Carpentry 101

Holy crap, an aid route on Baldy!!! EXTREME!
We continued up to the top.


BALDY NIPPLE



Someone has fortified our typical winter bivy spot on the Baldy-Harwood col...

WITH D-VITAMINS...
Marks left by skids on helo's? Atop Harwood.

Looking down something for the winter

Made it all the way to the notch. I didn't think I'd survive.
HOWEVER, upon reaching the notch, we were STUNNED to see that we'd have to make it down to 6500ft from the notch, which is at 1800ft.


We ascenderated the 4700ft to the bottom, uphill, down.
Space math.
Goodnight.
