We enjoyed a summer like day in this early season hike/scramble. The trail to Baldy pass as expected was hard packed snow so we used our traction devices, from the pass to the summit the ridge was bone dry and tick infested. After a long lunch stop we retraced our steps. Back at 3:25. 3 hours up /2:15 down
