If it's not too hot, which it probably will be, I'm planning on Baden from Vincent's monday the 7th. Let me know if anyone is interested. I am a pretty slow mover, so be forewarned.

I'm headed over to Ontario Pk on Monday. Supposedly the heat won't be too bad at altitude. I'm starting around 6:00 AM just for fun.

Enjoy Ontario,
I may stay local also and do Bighorn, Ontario via the ridge. Maybe I'll run into you. I'll be the guy weezing and crawling up the trail. Haha.

Did you go up B-P or Ontario? I looked for you on Ontario, but we didn't see a soul past Icehouse Saddle.

Baden today was great. We were among the first few peeps to start the trail around 7:30. Weather was awesome, cool, overcast. T-Storms on the way down.
Holy Hell, about 5 million hikers coming up the trail as we were coming down. Guess everyone had the same idea to hit it on Sunday.

I know. The T-storm started pretty heavy the moment we got into the car. People were probably mid way, to just reaching the summit when it hit.
And you wonder why people go missing or have to be rescued out of our mountains.
