At 10,000 elevation and a name like Devil’s Backbone, this one was intimidating. It was a challenge but doable. It took me a while to conquer the last 1/2 mile but I wasn’t giving up. The weather was perfect; don’t attempt this one in bad weather. I have checked Mount Baldy off my bucket list…but I might do it again.
That last push to the summit is definitely a grind! Great job, and congratulations on completing the challenge!
