Howdy All

Thanks to Aaron (Quest for BCM), Kathy Wing and everyone else in the group for a great day 8) On my fourth trip up the Baldy bowl, the conditions were finally good enough to glissade down. My glissade speed is not fast but it beats walking

Nice work Ellen - glad you had a great day

Hi Ellen! 8)

Howdy Taco

It's been great reading your posts on my "home" board -- San J. Looking forward to your trip report of your absolutely legal technical climb.

Yeah, we headed back down from about 9,500 and when we got to the Ski Hut the clouds had moved in, obscuring the summit.

Howdy Norma,

Thanks -- it was a lot of fun 8) I'll never forget my first time up the bowl with you, Lilbitmo, Dave G, Taco and Zach in the fall of 2009 when it was icy and we had to hike down the summer route.

It was windy on top of San Jacinto yesterday too, but nothing like the wind I've experienced on top of Baldy. I think Baldy is "special" when it comes to being windy.

Hope to climb with you soon.

It was indeed a great climb. I hope to keep climbing with you in the future Ellen and to climb with you all soon.
