Took off from Manker Flats today via the Ski Hut trail, and came back via Devil's Backbone. For anyone interested in doing this hike, the trail is now snow free on 97% of it. Where there is snow, it's easily walked on or around, no crampons or axes necessary.
Just thought I'd throw a heads up out there for those of us interested in using Baldy as a training ground for Whitney!
