Boreas & Bald
Date: 11/04/2020
Partner: Kristi Henes
Trailhead: Boreas Pass
Summits: Boreas Mountain, Bald Mountain A
Difficulty: Class 2
Distance: 8.3m
Elevation Gain: 3760ft
Duration: 5hrs 10min
Boreas Mountain from the top of the pass is a quick hit. However tagging Bald from Boreas felt long. It is about 3 miles away and Bald's north ridge is relatively tedious. Great views of the Tenmile and Guyot looked pretty cool too.
