Mt Whitney Zone Forums Trip Reports TR Baldy Bowl - Lessons Learned

Stacy!!!! My leg is doing much better, a bit of a limp, but a reminder :-)

Seriously....what am I going to do? I told DJ that people don't go up the middle of the bowl in Summer and he said: "now we have to find a way". So, I'm asking if anybody knows a "safe" way, besides the main trail. I was told there is a route from the ski hut to Devil's Backbone trail. When I checked, it looked like that may be a way.

Also, lots of Bighorn Sheep droppings way up in the rocks. Some of it was fresh. I'm sure they were looking at us laughing their butts off.

Next time I go up, I'm going to take your suggestion, go to the top and look down the chutes to see how steep it all is.

Still thinking Whitney in October....but depends on weather and how quick I heal.
