So after a lot of consulting, we decided to summit Baldy by going up ski hut trail and down backbone trail. Basically we went backwards from many of the other hikers. The good part of that plan is that we had shade for a majority of the hike up. The backbone trail is not shaded at all and is pretty brutal on a hot day. The ski hut trail, however, is a constant, steep climb. So, be prepared. Bring a lot of water.
