We tried register ridge this time to add more challenge to the hike (because going to baldy is not that challenging… 😂😂). I’d say this part of the entire trail really flexed my calves big time and I think I hurt my neck for looking up where to go due to its steepness.

I consider this as the most difficult compare to other trails and probably not a good idea to go back down. Extreme caution should be practiced as the first part is covered with scree.

Because baldy is very popular, no surprise when we met a few hiking friends along the trail.

As always, the top is exhilarating even if exposed. Weather was clear, very breezy and filled with hikers😁
