| seanpeckham | Bullion Divide  Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2007 | |
| Best scrambling of the Bullion Divide route (going from east to west, at least), in my opinion, and a good climax to the route. | |

| merrell | Route: White Pine to East Pass. Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2007 | |
| Day of extremes. From trail to bushwacking to boulder hopping to scrambling, then back to bushwacking and trail. Came northwest down ridge from summit directly to trail about 1/4th mile from where we left the trail earlier (1 1/2 mile from lake). Did only the east summit. Great hike, really great views. Hiked with "bignick". | |

| Moogie737 | White Pine TH Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2012 | |
| 4th time on the summit(s) of Red Baldy. Once solo, once with Brent & Lana on the Red/White/Red/White hike, on 5-14-08 with L & A, and today (June '08). Snow conditions, considering the mid-June date, were excellent; we had to don crampons from abeam lower Red Pine lake until the White Baldy summit. From there to Red Baldy we got away with mountaineering boots and careful scrambling. Great glissade off of Red Baldy. Entire route took 8+25 from White Pine TH. #5 8-5-08 with Dave, Lana & Brent. First peak of ridge run including Haystack, American Fork Twin Peaks (and the A.F. South), and the spine to Hidden Peak. Then relaxed and let the Tram take us down. #6 7-30-09 From White Pine TH & up the slope from 10,000' point on the road. 2+40 up W/ Brent. #7 W/ Dave as part of reverse Bullion Divide from White Pine TH to Snowbird Tram. 9+ hrs total. Scrambling and snow. #8 6-11-11 W/ WMC team after White Baldy. Dicey snow conditions on ridge bewteen White Baldy and this summit. Record snow pack very much in evidence. Glassades down west side wet, sloppy and oodles of fun. But IVD conditions... #9 5-29-12 W/ Dave. Part of RWRW prep climb for pending WMC hike. Bluebird day. Dicey sectons of ridge with scary snow between White Baldy and the summit of Red. #10 W/ Brent. Part of Buillion Divide to Hidden Peak. 2+50 to Red Baldy from White Pine TH. #11 6-8-13 With WMC on RWRW. Great glissades on the lower 2/3 of the west face. | |

| Record-breaking warm March temperatures have contributed to a sustained high avy danger in the Wasatch, but have also made the high country mighty appealing. Lee Johnson and I headed up White Pine and ended up on top of Red Baldy on this gorgeous St. Patricks Day! | |

| The scrambling up to the peak on this one is great. This was one of my favorite summits on the Bullion Divide. | |

| Scott Wesemann | From White Pine Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006 | |
| Went with my good friend Jackson. We started to go up one of the couloirs on the North face, and then a couple of rocks came tumbling down at a high rate of speed and made us re-think our prospects. We found a steep slope on the west shoulder that was still in the shade and climbed up to the ridge. The snow was hard and firm. The ridge was corniced in places and slightly sketchy, but not too bad. Just before the summit we saw Marauders glissading down the south side. We did not see another person all day until we reached the Red Pine trail junction. Had some great glissades and the conditions were perfect. Epic day!! (See trip report.) | |

| marauders | Route Climbed: Silver Glance Lake/South Face Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006 | |
| Great climb. Lots of fun. The south face was majority 35 degrees, with the upper section at 40 degrees. The glissade down was top notch! | |

| I usually climb Red Baldy while hiking the Bullion Divide. I had to climb up two talus chutes along the ridge but it wasn't as bad as it looked. Hiked with my friend Chris who was tired of boulder hopping all day but he tried his best to have fun. The summit view of White Baldy and the rest of ridge is great. | |

| Did this peak as part of the Bullion Divide Route. I started out at Sugarload, then did Mt Baldy, Hidden Pk, all 3 summits of the American Fork Twin Pks, Red Top, Red Baldy, and White Baldy. What a day! The NE face of this peak looks like it could contain some nice spring snowclimbs - I gotta come back up here! | |

| MrWasatch | Route Climbed: via White Pine, North slopes Date Climbed: 9/14/02 | |
| Nice climb. Good route-finding keeps it no more than class 2 from White Pine Trail. Gentle tundra slopes lead to northeast ridge. | |

| PellucidWombat | Route Climbed: East Ridge via Bullion Divide Date Climbed: June 2002 | |
| Nice scramble, although I do wish that I had a helmet on the climb! Descended via White Pine Fork - a very long boulder-hopping extravaganza down to the trail and then a nice 3mph stroll back to the car. Got back to SLC and had a celebratory late lunch with my Wasatch Mountain Club comrads at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and showered. I love how the Wasatch Mountains give you teh opportunity to do those things on the same day as the climb! | |
