Bulldog,

On the other hand, if Mt. Baldy was on Yucaipa Ridge or adjacent to Mt. San Gorgonio, it would no more than a handful of people most winter weekends.

I climbed Charlton Peak (10,805') a month ago on a Saturday...total people on the peak that day...3. Most folks in the area that were on Mt. San Gorgonio, SoCal's highest peak.

Location is everything.
