RED BALDY-CLAIMED AND NAMED "KENDALL'S KNOLL" :) via Silver Lake Flat TH
4,700 ft
Ah, what a day. FINALLY got up to the White Baldy/Red Baldy ridge. Started at Silver Lake Flat, up to Silver Lake and Silver Lake Glance. Intended to try for White Baldy today but as I got closer to the ridge line exposing a better view of what was involved had to scrap it and go for Red Baldy. White Baldy is doable--probably not now (without some better gear) and need much more time. I've climbed all over the LCC side but have never come up from the AF Canyon side.
Beautiful day. Met a couple from Massachusetts near the top--just arrived in SLC and went for a "hike.. Incredibly impressed with them. I mentioned that I wasn't sure they fully knew how cool and "epic" it was that they were up there. Not your typical "hike in waist deep snow, tagging Red Baldy in November couple."

Part 2:
Had my eye on a little unnamed knoll for a few week now. After Red Baldy summit, I decended and went back up to "claim and name" my peak. Cool little knoll just popping up really in the middle of nowhere just south and east of Silver Glance Lake. It's mine! "Kendall's Knoll" :) A bit dicey going up. Followed Cat tracks (Bob cat I'm assuming based on the size) all the way to the top.

Great day on the Wasatch!
