A stay on top of Baldy can be a very pleasant experience, and has been for me most of the time. But twice we've been up there in heavy winds, and even behind the rocks it can be an adventure.
This last weekend it was blowing like crazy up there. We got a little ways up the backbone before turning around. My brother lacks a lot of the proper clothing and equipment for that kind of stuff, and to be truthful, the wind was blowing the desire to go much further out of me anyway!
