A short but sweet overnight up to Ontario Peak. I initially planned to bivouac in the summit but after a late start (5:30p) I decided to stop for the night at Kelly Camp. The sky was a tremendous orange blaze as I hiked the last mile from Icehouse saddle, and made it just after dark. I was asleep by 9p and up at first light. I packed up my minimal camp and headed up to the peak. The views of Baldy with the sunlight climbing down Baldy bowl were incredible. I was on the summit by 6:40a and took in the views for few mins before heading down. I was at my car by 9:15, having greeted the multitude of hikers heading up along the way. So glad I did this as an overnight and had the peak to myself. Ontario Peak is not to be missed!
