Is that as steep as those trails get?
Doesn’t look all that bad but then, there may be other places not so wide
George Soros doesn’t have enough money to pay me to walk that.
Perhaps he had vertigo or passed out and then tumbled down. I don’t think it was a free fall.
Every year someone..seemed to die up there...going out of boundaries.
There’s been an exceptional amount of snow and ice on the upper trail elevations of Mt Baldy and other 10,000+ foot mountains in the San Gabriel and San Bernadino mts.
The picture you featured is called Mt Baldy’s “The Devils Backbone”.
The ice currently there is bad, and the trail width in no more that 12 inches wide.
Suicide without at least microspike crampons and poles.
Our experience has been only 1 in 3 have / use microspikes & poles.
When you stop these winter hikers, they are utterly clueless.
The only thing to can do is bitch them out for endangering rescue workers to haul their body out, and ask them who they’d like to give contact info out in advance to notify next of kin.
Reckless jerks.
Beautiful
Was running from a mountain lion?
Texting?
Taking the ultimate self-absorbed selfie, tried to step backwards?
Just add ice.
Nice photo.
I climbed the Devil’s Backbone in the winter once from Blue Ridge to Pine Mountain. I had crampons and an ice axe. Traversing the Devil’s Backbone between Pine Mountain and Baldy would be extremely dangerous in the winter without proper equipment and training.
