Thank you guys for the suggestions! I will be there February with everyone else it seems

If that doesn't work i am glad there are options. When is probably the best date range to shoot for?
As far as 1 or 2 days, that is the choice. 1 day of 'death march' or 2 days and hiking up lots of gear. I think 2 days, even though may be harder, seems like the more enjoyable option!
I have never heard of the two hikes mentioned after Baldy, do you have more info on them?
