After some miserable late spring snow stopped me from climbing in Utah yesterday, I figured I could at least climb Mt Baldy with no worries, but as I'm driving in from the north on i-15 I see the damn thing is still snowed in.


Is there any route I can take that won't require a long snowshoe slog? Or which of the slogs will be the least annoying. Was planning it tomorrow but I don't know if I'd have time unless I'd start at like 3 am.

I think this is the baldy you are talking about, if so no snow to deal with tell next winter

thanks, looks like the south side is completely clear then, so Im good to go without the snowshoes.

Yeah you wont need any snow gear from Manker to the top
