Hiked 12/07/22 – Went up Register Ridge route early to Mts Harwood/Baldy/West Baldy and down on Baldy Bowl Trail (tracked 9 mi/4400 ft). Register Ridge was free of ice and snow but still a good workout that required good pole plants to power up the scree. Windy and very cold on all three peaks but fantastic views above the cloud layer. Had to put on micro spikes after Baldy to West Baldy and then descended Baldy Bowl which had a fair amount of ice on the upper half. Great Hike - met a lot of nice people on the way down including Kevin Lee and Bill Burke, the 2x Everest/8 continent climber who has a peak named after him (Burke Khang). Would recommend bringing micro spikes and cold weather clothing/gloves at the minimum, especially after this weekend’s likely snow fall. Helpful to check “mountain-forecast” site to see summit temps/wind speeds before going up.
