What an awesome day ! Good weather, excellent company and a wonderful scramble. The route we ended up doing was not the one I had planned to do but was the one listed as the destination. I clicked on the wrong trip number when posting the trip.

Frist crux at North ridge at Mt.Baldy

Most of the trip was quite different from what I was expecting. Though I've done the normal traverse before, I had forgotten how much scrambling is involved just getting up the north ridge.

The west ridge I had never done, had no intention of doing, but it was listed as the destination so we did it. Several participants had done it before so they led the way. Definitely some interesting scrambly bits on the west leg of this traverse.

Thanks to the very competent crew who accompanied me today, we had a successful traverse and a wonderful day in the mountains. So far it has been a one tick day for me only discovered while showering when I got home. Participants: Gerald, Janice, Jim, Norman, Stan, Yoko, Yolande (C/S)
