As dangerous conditions hamper search for Julian Sands, some hikers still braving Mount Baldy

Recent storms dropped heavy snowfall in the area. But high winds and temperature changes left many areas covered in ice. And the top of the mountain remains shrounded in cloud cover.Still, ABC7 cameras spotted some hikers approaching the mountain on Thursday."Like, one step at a time," he said. "I know it's dangerous. I've got big skis. So hopefully they're stable."Experts recommend against it.

"Hiking up here during the wintertime, you have to be super-careful. We don't recommend it," said Ole Ellingson with the Mount Baldy ski resort. "It's not advised. Especially after snowfall. There's gonna be areas you think are good to hike on. But next thing you know, you're sliding." Also known as Mount San Antonio, Mount Baldy is the tallest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains with a summit more than 10,000 feet up.

It's a popular spot for hiking - and for rescues. Even during warmer months, the slopes can be treacherous during the rain, with the potential for mudslides. And even some members of rescue crews have fallen to their deaths in searches for lost hikers.

So when they get lost, don’t send millions of dollars in resources to find or rescue them.

Yeah don’t be that guy!…The guy who goes out for a walk and in-turn endangers untold numbers of other innocent/heroic lives at severe risk, of death? Maybe not! 🤔
