Up, Down, Up, Down.
2 laps of the brutal SW ridge of Big Baldy.

Each lap is about 2,800 ft. up (in 1.5 miles) and 2,800 ft. down (in 1.5 miles). Rinse and repeat for the full vertical mile, and then some.

Start at the nice peaceful meadow (40.348277, -111.668653) at the intersection of Dry Canyon Trail Nr. 049 and Curly Springs Trail Nr. 051. To get there, hike up from the Dry Canyon parking lot (40.341852, -111.676734) about .7 miles. Bring some camping chairs, a hammock, whatever you need to fool yourself into thinking you’re just out for a nice leisurely day.
Toe the line and go up the Dry Canyon Trail Nr. 049 appx. .2 miles to GPS coordinate 40.350419, -111.664943 where the SW Baldy Ridge trail cuts off to the left.
CLIMB for 1 mile to the false summit at GPS coordinates 40.362982, -111.667287.
Continue to the northeast another .3 miles to the true summit at GPS coordinate 40.365978, -111.666498.
Turn around, go back the way you came.
Repeat.
NOTE – there are a couple strava segments going up the ridge, but they end at the false summit. Make sure you go up to full way.
