I fell down the baldy bowl and beat my helmet to hell. It saved my head from serious to fatal head injury.
a week after I fell, another man fell similarly, but without a helmet. He is still in critical condition two months after the accident with a good deal of skull fractures.
WEAR YOUR HELMET. That is just from falling. The more immediate danger is falling rock from the clefts above. When the snow melts, it will shift the loose rock and send it down at you.

Re: Route CommentYeah, I was just up there and fell about a 1000 feet down the bowl. Didn't have a helmet and suffered a pretty severe concussion.
