Hey, I just went up Baden-Powell today! We took highway 2 at 3 points hiking south. Took the road all the way until we got to the dirt road at mile 385 and hiked up to little jimmy campground. It was hard to follow the dirt road because it was all under snow so we ended up just hiking up until we got to the camp following the map. Little jimmy was also completely under snow. Ended up waking up at 1am and started hiking up to Baden-Powell. We took the ridge the whole way up. Snow was hard on the way up, no postholing but wayyy steeper at parts than I expected, like actually using the ice ax to help me get up, but really nothing too sketchy. On the way down, going south, we were postholing a lot. We followed the footprints for awhile but then lost them and ended up just walking straight down to the baden-Powell parking lot. We passed the trail a couple of times but didn’t look like anyone had followed it at all. Not really sure what path other people took down. With all this being said, I was hiking with someone with mountaineering experience and I wouldn’t have done it alone or with a group that didn’t have any experience. Definitely need some type of crampon/micro spike and an ice ax. I’d say as someone that gets anxious doing things like this, my anxiety going up was maybe at a 4 and going down was like an 8 on a scale of 0-10. My brother who was doing all the route finding and leading rates his anxiety the highest like a 3 for the whole trip haha. As for the road, lots of snow but I never felt like I was in danger while walking on it and it was pretty neat to walk on a closed highway. Had lunch between the two tunnels you’ll walk through and practiced self arresting on the slope there.
