This is from Bob Burd's(the immutable)TR from Mt. Baxter in 2007. In the words of the Almighty Burd:
"Mt. Baxter lies within a bighorn zoological area and is only open to climbing before July 1, so it would be good to get this SPS peak ticked off before the season closes. Together, Matthew and I had been up the Baxter Pass Trail twice in the past, to Black Mtn and Diamond Peak on the Sierra crest. The trail is steep, loose, endless, and surprisingly easy to lose in places, not one of our favorite climbs."
I don't imagine that any of these three will be easy, but if Bob Burd didn't like it, I can only imagine the horrors that wait. I don't recall him bemoaning the Taboose nearly as much. But I have a terrible history of being incorrect.
Thus spaketh the mighty Burd...
