Big Baldy Mountain is the highest and most prominent mountain in the Frank Church Wilderness area West of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The ridge is located a decent distance inside the Wilderness Area and is located above the Middle Fork of the Salmon River between Pistol Creek and Indian Creek. This climb starts along the edge of the wilderness area and follows Big Baldy Ridge to the summit. This was a three day camping trip in which I climb over 9 peaks along the ridge including Chilcoot Peak, Trapper Mountain, Pistol Rock, multiple points along Big Baldy Ridge, and Baldy Mountain. Camped along Big Baldy Ridge the first night and the inlet to Buck Lake the second night.
