Ridge to Baldy

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????
