Itinerary:
Looks like we are getting a bit of snow in the front ranges and while the skiing is still marginal, we can sure get outside to practice our winter scrambling skills and get to play on what becomes rocky terrain with snow in all the right places we want to place our boots on. Following the ridge on Baldy allows us to move on easy rock and snow with gloves on rock and that can make it all so much fun, right? Anyway, if you are keen to tromp up a ridge, offering some exposure in places on both snow and rock, for some 800 vertical meters in what looks to be cloudy with snow falling conditions, then this trip is for you. It won't be a race to the top, but we are not looking to doodle either, as it is nice to move and stay warm doing so.
Required Items to Bring:
warm layered clothing, wind jacket, toque, neck tube, gloves, and mitts, gaiters, sun glasses

trekking pole, hot drink and enough food to energize you
