Southeast Ridge
Did a loop hike with Kendrick from the Bald Mountain trailhead, passing a couple yummy patches of huckleberries on the way to the saddle between Reids and Bald. We then went up the southeast ridge, which has some awesome scrambling. We stayed right on the ridge for the first half, then stayed on the slopes to the left as it got steeper near the top (going behind a couple mountain goats who must’ve thought we were following them). On the way back up to Bald Mountain we encountered some snow, but upon summiting it was an easy descent back down the trail to the bottom. Great day in the mountains. See "Huckleberries, Goats, & [Mostly] Solid Rock" trip report for details.
