Really nice open ridge with a decent use trail on the way down. Didn't realize it was over 2.5 miles and 2000 feet down one way. I paid for it on the way back up, bonking pretty hard in the heat and running low on water.

The summit proper of Ross is treed in, but the views from the ridge are awesome. It's really tucked away right in the heart of the high part of the range with amazing views back up to Baden-Powell, across to Pine Ridge, Mount Baldy, and Iron Mountain. The black flies lower down were very annoying.

The climb back up to Baden-Powell and then all the way back out to Dawson Saddle was draining. A long tough day in San Gabriels.
