Frank's Visit: Day 1. Baldy Mountain.

Frank Wigley scrambling on Baldy, Kananaskis CountryBaldy had been on my list of early season objectives for a couple of years. I think I'd never got around to it because it seemed pretty minor, but it turned out to be really good fun. It was Frank's first day of his third winter trip to the Rockies, and a great start to the trip. The first 45 minutes is a steep run up to the scrambling step, which is furnished with good holds, although some of them are spares, likes sharks' teeth. The guidebook time is 3-5 hours. I think we were round in about 3.5, without pushing too hard.
