Hiked 11/22/22 solo. Started early at Icehouse Canyon and went up Timber, Telegraph, Thunder and North Thunder in absolutely awesome weather with no wind. Some ice but mainly snow to Timber so no micro spikes, just careful poled steps where necessary. Put on micro spikes on the way to Telegraph with very little post holing but then had to use an ice axe because of semi-frozen snow sluffs taking out the trail up/down Telegraph - no trail on the steeper northwest slopes. Only used crampons for two traverses but if you don’t use an axe, you’re going to need them with poles to ascend/descend the from the northwest. Once off Telegraph, bare hiking boots/shoes were good enough. Completed the loop by walking down the Baldy Ski access road and then Mount Baldy Road back to Icehouse Canyon. Very adventurous and fun hike!
