Climb for Heroes May 21, 2017. My first time up to the summit of Baldy, was a great experience. I was suppose to hike with #teamsocalhikers at 0800, but ended up starting the hike at 0900 because I was waitingfor some friends to arrive. The trail conditions were great, other than the heavy foot traffic, the trail was fine. The weather was great, I only wore a single layer columbia silver ridge long sleeve button down shirt. No insulation needed. Although I should’ve brought my wind shirt for the summit. But other than that, I was fine. I felt fine until the final push up towards the summit, i was struggling at a stop and go pace. Im not use to the altitude, but I felt fine at the summit. I made the summit in 4.5 hours at 1:30. And made it down to the starting point by 4pm. I was able to get some cool stuff for the camp chips I collected along the way. Good times, great hike.
