Me and my girlfriend had never been to Mt. Baldy, so we read that this was the hardest way and we love challenges so why not. We read that it could take 8 hours, but we like to think we are in good shape. Climbed to the summit in 3.5 hours and was able to run it down in 1:45 so about 6;15 total. Very dangerous to run down so be careful. I would not go here in the snow or on a very hot day. At times it felt really hot and at times cold. Total mileage logged on my Strava was 13.6 Miles with 6,124 feet of vertical gain from the church to the top.
