He came out to test his ankle on the snow. His ankle seems recovering well but no quick enough for Rick. We had a nice climb up the Bowl and gentle hike down to protect his ankle. We are very happy that Rick is doing well. There were two sections in the Bowl showed very active rock fall and avalanch activity. We met Tim Medvetz who was in 2007 Discovery Chanel's "Beyond the Limit", Mt. Everest expedition program. I met him two years ago on same trail and almost same spot on the trail. He was very interesting guy. It was an another nice day on Mt. Baldy. Photos are WPS photo album link.

I just remember it was a rather 'interesting' group LOL Originally Posted By Shin We met Tim Medvetz who was in 2007 Discovery Chanel's "Beyond the Limit", Mt. Everest expedition program.
