Comments
Comments: Great day on the Baldfaces. Blaze's pictures on VFTT inspired me to go out there. The ledges below S. Baldface are pretty much dry. There is snow in the col between S and N Baldface, all easily bare bootable. Coming off of North is slightly trickier. It's still icy on some of the scrambles but if you take your time, pick your spots, and occasionally buttslide you can escape it traction free.


I missed my turn down Baldface trail on Eagle Crag (don't ask) so I got Meader Ridge as a bonus! Some spotty deep snow on the ridge, but again, nothing I felt compelled to break out traction for. Stunning views and lots of wind up top.
