Baldy is now snow free

[GoalHiking]

Earlier today I took Register Ridge up to Baldy and then came down the Backbone and the access road. There were snow patches, but I never touched snow even once. I went up with 4.8L of liquid as training. The route to West Baldy was covered in snow for the most part and a ranger down at the road told me someone had done it using microspikes. I wasn't keen on dealing with snow so I didn't bother. There were a couple of guys carrying skis and ski boots and apparently there's a skiable slope north of Baldy, but I didn't ask for the name.

Also, I'm looking for reliable partner(s) to do Rabbit Peak when it cools down. I'd take it slow and do a lot of the uphill by headlamp. They don't have to go all the way to Rabbit, just wait for me at Villager if they want.

Careful bro. Melted snow is as dangerous as non melted snow. Close baldy
