Route: From spring creek pass Posted On: 2021-04-02, By: bmcqueen Info: I was worried this morning when I started post-holing with my snowshoes on immediately at 5:45 am. I tiptoed in the faint old trench for the first hour, wondering if I would be cutting a short day even shorter. Then the snowmobile track appeared and saved the day. I went up to the Baldy no es Cinco/Baldy Cinco saddle, then headed left to no es Cinco. After Baldy Cinco, I descended its gentle ridge back to the snowmobile tracks. This time I followed the tracks all the way down to the road with only a couple unpleasant post-holing instances. |

Route: From Spring Creek Pass Posted On: 2019-12-23, By: Tornadoman Info: Ascended Baldy No Es Cinco and Baldy Cinco Via Spring Creek Pass. Good snowmobile track is in to Snow Mesa, from there blowing snow has basically eliminated it. We wore snowshoes to summit of No Es Cinco, and only took them off for the last pitch on Baldy Cinco where it was basically bare. Good day, very remote feeling out on that big Mesa in winter! |

Route: From Spring Creek Pass Posted On: 2019-05-25, By: WildWanderer Info: Consistent snow from trailhead to summit. Trenched a trail to the mesa. On my way out a snowmobiler followed my tracks and made a groomed trail. Lots of cornices in the area. Wind blew away tracks above treeline. Perfect conditions! Tons of snow, only needed snowshoes. |
