Baldy Death is Safety ReminderBY DAVID WHITING COLUMNIST THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER Published: Jan. 24, 2011 Updated: 6:19 p.m. The morning of Dec. 4, 2010, at the Mount Baldy trailhead started like many beautiful days.
Climbers with all kinds of goals and all kinds of equipment gathered in the parking lot and sorted gear. Some carried crampons, ice axes and helmets, hoping to make the snowy and icy 10,068-foot summit.
Ron Campbell, Register writer and accidents and incidents investigator for the Sierra Club's local safety committee, didn't take much equipment that day and turned around at the ski hut, a place where climbers often gear up for the mountain's slippery slopes.
Campbell signed the log book at 8:20 a.m. and had supper with his family that night.
Michelle Yu signed the log about 8:30 a.m. Her body was recovered five days later.http://www.ocregister.com/articles/kern-285424-rainier-conditions.html
