Baldy Bowl
Yesterday we climbed the bowl at Mt. Baldy. 5 feet of hard packed snow made for a quick ascent (5 hours base to summit).
The summit was very windy, so we dug a small hole in the snow to sit inside so we could eat our lunch with some protection.
We glissaded (slid down on our butts), almost the entire way from the summit back to the Sierra Hut. At 8 miles roundtrip with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation gain, it is a great day trip.
