Mount Baldy (Peak #3)

This was a tough hike.  Started the day at 4:30AM with a group of 4 of us.  We went up to the Notch, then over on the Devil’s Backbone.  At about 9,300′, altitude effects started to hit.  The last 700′ to the top was a crazy mess of switchback and 40mph winds.  We summited around 9:30AM and stayed for about an hour.  The way down on the Ski Hut trail was horrible – that is a rough trail on the knees, and I pity everyone I saw climbing up it.  Overall, this was my favorite peak so far!
