Baldy*Dawson*Pine via Register Ridge

For those of you who think i must include the 3ts in any Baldy hike I do, I am submitting a NEW (ok-ish) route for your hiking enjoyment (because really, I aim to please...really...) This is a hard core STEEP hike that takes us the fastest, steepest- (yah, I know bear canyon is steep, trust me) way up to baldy, then DOWN 800ft and over to Dawson, then back up-ish to Pine and reverse (you will hate me on the way back up to Baldy...)...Dawson and Pine peaks are far less traveled and far more beautiful than their big brother...AND you may see wildlife (other than the beer swilling frat boys w cooler who I saw last week coming down Icehouse)

the stats:

miles: 17? 18?

gain: 6K? 7K?

as usual, im not your mommy, your tour guide, your therapist...this is an ADVANCED hike...you are an adult and ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF

NO SWEEP, KNOW THE TRAIL

btw- i will be coming down devils backbone...if you feel like swilling beer then, feel free
