10.5 years here. I get to try to figure out how to support us during my retirement as well as her for all those years she will march on without me. Didn't think about that when I married her. She sure was cute though.

With the unusual weather we've had this year, it's hard to speculate. The high point on the climb to Baldy Village is only 4400, or so, but there is sometimes ice in the shade near the top of Glendora Ridge Road. Best to check conditions closer to the time you want to go. If you decide to go beyond the village to the ski lifts (end of the road) it's 6000 feet up there, so more likely to get icy.
In a normal year I think ice is not likely in May. I'm sure I could get info from locals in May. People are going up there all the time.

I lost track. I think 35 is the last mark I remember.

Dad always hated paying others to do things he could do himself, so when the roof started leaking at a joint where the regular shingled roof intersected with a tarred section that had much less pitch, he had to do it himself, 20 feet up, with no fall protection (it was the 60s, he was in his 40s). At his invitation (and probably without Mom's knowledge), he invited me up to see it. I went up ONCE, but that sure seemed like a LONG way down!!! Especially to a pre-teen kid!
I neither peed nor puked off that roof.
