I've never done Baldy - is going up the center of the bowl common?
Gary
There are several routes up the "bowl" in winter...all of which require and ice axe and crampons of some sort (Doug Sr. went up with microspikes, but that's Doug!)The "summer" trail is on the left side of the bowl (out of view).
some of the routes are pretty steep
We went up the left side here where there was snow...as you can see,the middle was melting out...lots of rockfall!
Left side of the bowl looking up from the hut. Glissade tracks down the center of the picture, the "trail" is on the left through the trees.
no photos, just links? Hmmmm
