A Really Goode Route Up Baldy 12-5-10

Phil and I have been using Goode Canyon as an approach to Baldy’s South Ridge for sometime and had wondered how it would go as a route to the summit. While I was off climbing Split Mtn in September, Phil got a chance to do the route and yesterday we repeated it. With very little bushwhacking and lots of fun bouldering and short class 3 sections, this is a very cool way to climb Baldy. Once above ~9K’ you have several options where to exit the canyon and join the Baldy Bowl Trail, or you can continue all the way up to the West Baldy/Baldy Saddle, passing the Hellcats wreckage along the way.

Patrick~I actually thought about calling you on this one because I knew you would have liked it, but I figured you and Stubby weren't cleared for scrambling quite yet.

I'm sure I'll be doing it again in the not too distant future.

Nice job, guys! I reckon that's the most common way lost folks come down in a storm. I've heard a few SAR stories about Goode.

Fun hike guys! It would be cool to continue up-canyon and see all of the Hellcat wreckage. Especially in a little more snow.
Loved the Alpine Bakery! Yum, yum! Those rolls would have gone good with the Hazelnut Latte that was in my thermos on BP.

We gotta' join epicurean forces!

It was a fun hike. Lots of solitude to be found up there!
Norma -
We were
supposed to go straight up canyon by the Hellcats, but my routefinding skills kicked in and we ended up on the Baldy Bowl side
Latte + cinnamon rolls sounds like a winner!
