Via the face from red pine
Not bad, the face was better than it looked from upper red pine, the top was really loose and that took some time, as did the whole thing. Next time we will try the ridge, im sure thats faster

White Baldy up the north face and down the north face via red pine lake
Hiked up to red pine lake and upper red pine lake and decided to boulder up the face, it was my first summit of white baldy so I have no idea if it was a good idea or not but it did take forever, about an hour and a half from the lake to summit, then took the same way back down.

Argh
Came from White Pine lake and descended to upper Red Pine direct off the summit. I think I can definitively say I've had enough boulder hopping for the year. Got cut pretty good on my ankle

Via Kirkham Route
Climbed via Kirkham Route in American Fork Canyon. Tons of snow this year made for a fun adventure with crampons and ax!

Fun in the Wasatch :)
Up from Red Pine TH; followed west ridge to summit, then descended north face - not recommended (the descent) - the boulder hopping stopped being fun an hour or two before it actually stopped...great ridgeline action, though. :)
Ascended via White Pine Lake and descended via Red Pine Lake. Great way to break up the hike. The scrambling on both ridges was about equal in difficulty.

bit the bullet and bagged this Baldy - solo via Red Pine Lakes. Just under 8 hour beautiful day, and had a nice glissade too.

Finally
Started at the Dry Creek Trailhead in Alpine. Total mileage was 15.9 miles with 6,500' elevation gain. Once past the meadow at the saddle, between it and Box Elder (where the trail comes up AF Canyon from Granite Flat Campground/Tibble Fork) I missed the ridge to the north, because the trail continued into the basin on the east flank. Hit the ridge that overlooks Silver Lake and had to gain that ridge to get back to the main ridge. Don't make that mistake. It will add about 3/4 mile and some tough scrambling. Was so grateful to have my dog with me, as the down climbing can be a little misleading. There are a few chutes that end in cliffs, and he would stand at the top and whimper, letting me know I was going the wrong way. He did this on 4 different occasions and I was able to find the path which we ascended. It was a great day.

West Ridge
West ridge with my GF and friend. A little chausy but good
Some fun and exposed scrambling! If you stay directly on the ridge it's class 4 but class 3 if you decide to go lower. I took the fun class 4 way! Views were great from the top! Also climbed the Western summit. Then I proceeded to climb down to Red Pine Lake. Went straight down the North Face. Super steep and loose. Would've been easier to just go down the ridge, but oh well.

North Ridge
Scrambled the N Ridge from Red Pine; descended the NE Face and down White Pine for a long, sun-drenched day. I had also done this one in the winter about 15 years ago. Fun stuff!!!

White Baldy
I did this as part of the Bullion Divide (Hidden Peak to White Baldy). The route up this peak from the East (coming from Red Baldy) was a long, sustained scramble. White Pine lake below was really impressive. We descended down to White Pine lake and it was rough going through what seemed like endless boulders and steep terrain. The peak looks really impressive.
Did as part of the Bullion Divide (took Snowbird Tram up to Hidden peak, then scrambled over AF Twin Peaks, Red Top, Red Baldy, & White Baldy, then descended down White Pine). This last part of the Bullion Divide had the most sustained scrambling, and overall this peak was a beast. We went straight over the east ridge between the lower east summit and the main summit, then decided to try an easier way back by looping around and losing some elevation in the tree/shrub maze to the south, which probably ended up being more tiring. We then cut across the north face and descended the steep, loose scree/talus slope to get down to White Pine Lake. From there we had some route-finding issues getting back to the White Pine trail/road (assumed a trail would lead to the lake, but there wasn't one), so didn't get back to the cars until it was getting dark. See "Good As Gold" trip report for details.

More Than Meets the Eye
Had planned on tagging Pf.horn and continuing on the Lightning ridge towards Chipman, S. Thunder, et al, but the rain-slick granite was giving my "morphoshambolic" shoes (read: La Sportiva Quantums) serious trouble so I turned back.
However, the drying conditions gave me pause, and I decided to give White Baldy a try from the west ridge.
Easily one of the funnest scrambles available to humanity in the Wasatch. Just the athletic, aerobic, cruiser scramble I had been looking for.

What a Fun Mountain!
I chose the Red Pine trail for this trip. My friend was feeling ill so she decided to wait at Upper Red Pine Lake for me. I scaled the ridge that links White Baldy to the Horn and made it to the summit in a little over an hour. That ridge was a lot of fun! I spend a good while on top and came straight down the face. I would highly recommend this descent option. It was a lot of fun class 3 downclimbing and glissading on patches of snow. Get a DQ blizzard after you go to solidify your awesomeness.
