| kteichert | Had to do it  Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2009 | |
| My friend and I planned to hike Bald Mountain and Murdock yesterday. We did Bald first, and surveying the easiness of Murdock, and it's inglorious mound of a summit, and seeing the stark contrast of Reids Peak, I decided Reids would be the much better hike if I were going to bag 2 peaks in one day. I left the top of Bald Mtn at 10:15, and reached the summit of Reids at 11:05 am via the northwest ridge of Bald, to the saddle and up the southeast ridge of Reids. I had my dog with me and there was only one cliff band that I had to lift her up. The rest she was able to do on her own. Fun scramble and amazing peak! Loved it! | |

| There wasn't much snow left, but I did see a couple guys hiking up and skiing down the little bit of snow that was left. To gain the ridge was pretty steep, but once on the ridge the fun began. It's always fun in the Uintas. | |

| Wasatchvoyage | Over Bald's Mtn and onto Reids. Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2008 | |
| I approached Reid's Peak via Bald Mountain's summit. Descended Bald's north-west ridge to the saddle, and scrambled to the Summit of Reids. Reids Peak is an excellent out of the way summit considering Bald Mountain is bagged by tourists and very crowded. I had the summit to myself for over an hour, with no one in sight after leaving Bald's summit. Descended the south face to the large expanse of meadows and streams at the west flank of Bald Mountain, and did some route-finding around the base of the mountain back to the trailhead. | |

| Skied to about 11300' and then booted the rest of the way along the southeast ridge. MOCKBA, Rob, and I started at mile 25.5 on the Mirror Lake Highway and skied a loop encompassing East Notch Mountain and Reids Peak. | |

| A very fun scramble along the ridge with some spectacular views and exposure. I dropped to the side in a few spots that were out of my comfort level, but followed the ridge for most of the way. Overall this is a great peak to climb. | |

| Fantastic climb. One of my favorites so far in the Wasatch/Uinta Ranges. Rather than skirting around the ridge proper, stay right on the ridge for a phenomenal 5.4 climb. Great atmostphere, views, solitude and fun exposure. This is a must do. Only a half day route, if that. | |

| Climbed up the southeast ridge. I didn’t stay very long on the summit because of an incoming thunderstorm. There was rain, lightning, and hail which made the descent interesting. It is a nice peak and fewer people climb Reids Peak than Bald Mountain. | |

| Climbed Bald, descended to the saddle between the two mountains, ascended SE ridge. An easy climb with just a few optional cliff bands to negotiate. Easy access, great views, and nobody else around! | |

| Fun peak for scrambling, and an excellent peak to do after climbing Bald Mountain. I then continued on to Notch Mountain, and Mount Watson via easy cross country and class 2 scrambling. | |

| One of my favorite peaks. Climbed via both Notch Mountain Trail and Pass Lakes routes, the first on August 10 1991 via Notch Lake with friends Josh and Mike while working at the East Fork Bear River Scout Camp. Josh drove to the trailhead since he was the only one who had a drivers license. | |
