Trip Report: Midnight Peak

This past weekend was Anita's birthday, and given that we'd hiked 8 mountains in 9 weekends, I fully expected her to ask for a break. But nope, she willingly agreed to scramble yet another peak. And so we trudged up Midnight Peak on another sweltering day of heat and sun.

While we were withering away, sweating uncontrollably on the initial approach in towards Baldy Pass, I finally figured out what to give her for her b-day: we are getting central AC installed in our house. No more of this 'sitting in front of a fan like a peasant' business. :)




The Mt. Baldy massif in the background. We had previously scrambled up the south summit back in May.






Steeps!
