Mt. Baldy [x6 (10,064)] via Register Ridge (x3) and Waning Moon

Adult obligations kept me close to home this weekend. It dawned on me Friday that we were just a few days out of a full moon, and I could do a local hike without loosing a lot of "day" time. I tossed out an invitation and Mandy joined me for her first Baldy ascent. The night temps were comfortable and wind at a minimum...until the saddle on the Backbone Trail just before the final ascent. We layered up here, and arrived at the summit as dawn was arriving over Apple Valley. Sunrise was gorgeous and we watched as the marine layer rolled in below, crashing clouds along the shores of the Cajon Pass. Great Father's Day morning!
