Winter is NOT over yet! SB Peak

While the rest of the world was on Mt Baldy today doing the Climb for Heroes (I sponsored Jeff Hester to hike for me), I went solo to SB Peak in search of North facing snow slopes! And I found them. Starting above Limber Pines, snow was crossing the trail. It was a great day of solo route finding as the snow covered the trail. The ridge was filled with sun cups up to 5-feet high. Crampons and axe made a late May appearance! Fantastic day – almost nobody on the mountain.
