Not too many spots near the summit that I'd call "good." Pretty barren up there. Kellys Camp is an excellent spot. Beautiful area BTW.

2] ski hut trail to baldy summit and sleep on top......if its windy maybe sleep at flat spot just below the summit.. ?
That'd work. No water though. Only 4mi up and 4mi down if I recall correctly

3] little jimmy and mt islip....
Yeah, pretty easy, but a nice hike. You could always go to Throop Pk instead of Islip to make it a little more interesting.

4] buckhorn to east twin and sleeping near there
That works. No water, but you could sleep in the saddle between Waterman and Twin Peaks.
