The road was open all the way to the base of Pine which made for a quick trip. About 50 degrees and relentless winds today, but no rain. Hope to be back for further exploration of this area. Looks pretty cool
This climb is pretty legit. Want to do in in snow.

Amazing views of the San Gabriel Mountains. A steep and tough hike but not too long.

First Time
A group of 7 went from Manker Flats to Baldy, then on the North Backbone Trail to Pine Mountain, hit Dawson on the way back to Baldy, then down the Devil's Backbone to Baldy Notch for a beer and a ticket down on the chair lift. Tough, but rewarding hike!
Camped on the blue ridge the night before . . . got an early start with JQ. Hiked most of the way to Baldy with a nice dude we met along the way and his dog (mohawk).

North BackboneI'd do this one again if I didn't have to climb back down the north side.

North Backbone (with Dawson and Baldy)Awesome peak, loose scrambly north face. A whole bunch of old rusty cans near the summit, what's with that?
