1/ Bivy on top of Mt Baldy tonight.@ai6yr yeah, this route arrives directly at the summit from the north 'rib'. It has its own considerations though. There's multiple steep, north facing ridges that don't get much winter traffic.

1/ Bivy on top of Mt Baldy tonight.3/ sunset on Dawson Peak, the last summit on the route to Baldy. Took a break, layered up, and put my light on. Dropped down to the saddle in post sunset dusk, then up Baldy after dark with the moon. City lights up on Baldy.

1/ Bivy on top of Mt Baldy tonight.1/ Bivy on top of Mt Baldy tonight. Came up from Wrightwood on the north backbone trail over Wright Mt, Pine Mt, and Dawson Peak before Baldy's north bowl. Afternoon/evening hike, was in the dark since Dawson Peak. Nice full moon lighting up all the snow though. It's been real nice, zero wind, clear, and only low of 45F tonight.
