I once spent the night on top of Throop Peak. The next morning I hiked down to Mt Hawkins and then returned to Throop and the car at Dawson Saddle. I remember I really liked the view from Hawkins, it really did have a great Baldy view.
'Climbed' twice from islip Saddle, once hiking the PCT and another time while skiing along the ridge from Islip Sadde to Throop Peak. Nice views down the Hawkins Ridge.
