He had just had the same thing happen but the outcome was very different. After sliding the entire way down the Bowl when he lost his footing (using hiking poles, axe on his pack) he was lucky just to have a very sore hamstring from contact with one of the rocks. It makes me consider my winter outings in the area a bit more carefully after many years of travel on foot up, over, and around Baldy.

I heard there was also a rescue in Baldy Bowl last Saturday.
