After climbing for heroes got cancel I decided to adventure and try to summit despite the bad weather. At the devils backbone I team up with couple of other guys and made out way to the summit in very bad conditions. High winds and snow and white out conditions. Although it was a hard and someway risky to be up there we had a good climb and enjoyed most of it except when having to cross the devils backbone and the cat walk. Definitely not a day for anyone to be up at baldy. Thankfully baldy was good to us and let us share our experience. ????????much respect for the mountain and its inclement weather.

Wow we were there yesterday and what a difference a day made!
Yes, I was surprised to see how much snow came down overnight and still was when I was there
Did you use Ice Axe and Crampons? Thinking about going up there this Saturday.
No, only spikes and poles. But there should be more snow by now. Take them for safety if you have them
