This evening your responded to a 17 year old hiker (face hidden) who had slid into a tree at the 9500’ level. This young man, aware of the recent deaths on , hiked to the west side of the bowl alone, removed his crampons and attempted to glissade, hitting a tree, which likely prevented a much worse ending for him.

We want to thank our partners at Copter 21, for the hoist assist. Please avoid MtBaldy unless you are trained, well equipped and not alone.
