At this point I've done all segments of the traverse, but have not succeeded in stringing it all together in one day. In Oct 2011, we successfully traveled from Iron past Gunsight notch and then returned by the same route. In April 2012 we went from Baldy to Gunsight, intending to continue to Heaton Flat, but were unable to scale the dirt gully that I'd used before. The dirt and rocks were very loose that day, and I just couldn't make it up, so we headed back out over Baldy. I'm curious about whether others posting here used the dirt gully as recommended by Brennan or climbed the rocks at Gunsight.

Hiked from Baldy Village to Iron and back with Rick Kent and Rick Graham. Great day and fun traverse.

I liked the traverse, but it was a long hard day. Won't be going back soon.

A challenging outing. Now, I have to do it the Iron to Baldy direction. I don't remember any 4th Class rock though. Only some 3d Class rock nearing Iron.

Yeah, I agree with the 3rd for the most part. We did stick directly on top of all of the rock we could find and encountered some stuff that could arguably be considered 4th class. All of course easily avoided by navigating to one side or the other on some 3rd or even 2nd class.
