My second summit to Mt Baldy. Last time was in 2015 for the Mt Baldy Run to the Top race. The course took us up via Devil's Backbone. This time I did the loop going up from Ski Hut and coming back down Devil's Backbone. I did not expect the relentless climb and the elevation gain summiting in 4.5 miles versus 7 miles. I like this route better though. It was hard but I felt much better and liked the route more. We also took a side trip to West Baldy and a stop at the waterfall (which I didn't get to do last time). The weather was nice but very windy that day.
