![]() Glenn Campbell - 8:56 am - Hasn't voted Route Comment If you do this climb after all of the snow has melted, bring plenty of water, since there are no water sources until you get down to the SA Ski Hut, where there is a small run-off stream.Īdditions and Corrections Post an Addition or Correction This is a strenuous varation to climb Baldy, it has some nice views on both sides of the ridge and if you want some solitude from the weekend crowds, this is a good option. I recommend the San Antonio Ski Hut Trail, which has a sign along the way down that says Baldy Bowl Trail, for a descent route. The elevation gain is the same as the San Antonio Ski Hut Trail and the distance is probably about the same. Turn left on the trail and head west toward the summit of Mt. Eventually, the climb up the SE Ridge meets the Baldy Notch Trail, just SE of the summit of Mt. From here, this is the steepest part of the route in which you gain about 800 feet in a quarter of a mile. You will come to a distinct flat spot, about 3/8 of a mile below the Baldy Notch Trail. Stay on the ridge, which is pretty steep, and keep climbing up. This is the ridge that you will follow all the way up and is the SE Ridge, called Register Ridge, that goes up toward the summit of Mt. There is a use trail that goes up to the right, follow this up onto the ridge. You will notice that the trail makes a sharp turn towards the north as you hike up from the register box, travel up the trail approximately 40 meters past the register box. Look for a rusted register box on the right side of the trail. When you take the turn off to the left off of the fire road, head up the trail that goes to the Sierra Club Ski Hut. Follow the San Antonio Ski Hut Trail route as if you are heading up to the Ski Hut.
