Is it just me, or does this slope look insanely steep?

David,

It's a very, very steep slope. You wouldn't want to fall there and not immediately self arrest.

North face of West Baldy. West Baldy is maybe a quarter of a mile along a connecting ridge from the more well known peak Mt. Baldy (offically Mt. San Antonio)(10,064'). These two peaks are at the east end of southern California's San Gabriel Mountains and are about 35-40 miles from downtown L.A.

When did you have this shot taken? I'm planning on a route up from the canyon bottom to the summit of W Baldy. Apparently it was strong enough to hold you up, unlike the powder I usually find!

Ryan,

That was Jan. 2006. The coverage on that slope was solid and hard. Be interested to hear what it's like to go to W. Baldy from that canyon bottom.

Awesome, thanks.

I'm hoping to descend via Dawson Peak Trail (heads down west into Lupine).

Not unless your sled had some amazing brakes on it! Happy Holidays Tanya.
