| gimpilator | Gray Wolf and Baldy  Date Climbed: Nov 4, 2009 | |
| Robbin, Dave and I did Gray Wolf first and then Baldy on the way back. We followed the Maynard Burn trail this time since last time we used the old Baldy trail. It was fairly warm for November and there were only a few patches of snow on the ground. The narrow north ridge top leading to Gray Wolf's summit was awesome. | |

| Went up with a friend to do Baldy. After that, he waited while I ran up the ridge to get the highpoint. Always glad to see years later that it was a "2000 prominence peak" and I don't have to go back. | |

| We did the usual route using the Maynard Burn Trail and traversing straight up and over every bump. Good views but too much sun. Overall this was a scenic hike with the ridge run and now I can chalk up another COHP. | |

| Last time up to Graywolf we had fabulous weather and for once the flowers were in bloom!!!!! It felt like Switzerland, smelled like a french boutique and revived my spirit. No blisters for once on the fire break cat trail. Check out my lupine photos. | |

| Mountainjeff | Not many views Date Climbed: Apr 7, 2007 | |
| Went up the Maynard Burn Way Trail.Started at 9:00 AM. The weather was foggy with a little rain turning to a slush/ice mix at higher elevations. The trail is in good shape and realativly steep. Snow started at the turnaround on the cat track. The trail was impossible to follow after that point so I just went up the ridge. I don't think very many people go up this rout, because most people follow the trail. The ridge had a lot of very large cornices. An ice ax is very helpful on this part, but poles will work. The ridge ended up on the false summit of baldy, so I traversed over to the main summit. I ran out of time to get to Graywolf, and the views from baldy were not very good. Visibility was about 5 feet. Got back to the car at 5:00PM | |

| Used the Mainard Burn Trail. Just before Pt. 6537, I ran into a shirtless man with no pack who didn't know where he was. I pointed him toward the Tyler/Baldy saddle where he thought his party was. Reached the top of Gray Wolf in beautiful clear weather. Got back to the truck at 8:00PM. Battery had failed (not just dead, broken). Walked out to Dungeness Forks Campground and begged a ride to the Casino on Hwy 101. Total miles 19, total elevation gain 5,500, loss 7,000. Cohp 43, WA Cohp 25. | |

| Chris Verdugo joined me on this one soon after I began working on county highpoints. The estimated 5,500 feet total elevation gain and loss were keenly felt by the end of this hike. Great views of Mts. Deception and Olympus. | |

| Walked straight up, then followed the ridge to Tyler Peak, then turned around ans followed the ridge until False Baldy, and then descended via the Mainard Burns trail. Great weather, great views. | ||

| Great climb with a great COHPing team of myself, Dean, Bob, Roy, and Kevin. It was warm, but you can't complain when it doesn't rain on the Olympic Peninsula. | |

| 5 of us met to knock off this county highpoint and represented 5 states in doing so = Georgia, Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington (me). We had a great day of perfect weather but all of us used at least 4 liters of water on this scorcher of a day. The trail doesn't use switchbacks, it goes straight up and then later in the day you have to deal with hiking straight down, a good test for the quads and knees. | |
