We met at 8am and started hiking at 9. Even though it was in the 50's already, the snow was firm having been below freezing the nite before. Due to the firm snow we all boot kicked it up the ridge line which the hiking trail follows. Again Angel floated uphill, never tiring, carrying Craig and Wally with him. Bill and I settled into a grinding, grunting trudge up hill.

Eventually 3 hrs later we summited. Seeing another skier ­ Russ ­ a tele stud visiting from Tahoe, jump into the couloir descending east from the summit towards the Mt. High ski area (dubbed Angel's Landing on the map), Angel and Wally decided to follow -- Wally on a snowboard, Angel on rando gear. As they dropped out of sight heading down to the bottom of the north face of Baldy, Craig, Bill, Russ from Tahoe and I bided our time listening to the rock fall and wondering if Angel and Wally were at the point of impact.
