Baboquivari has been on my radar screen for a long time and I was finally able to go with someone who could get me up the ladder pitch.

We parked at the Baboquivari Campground and took a good, maintained trail to a ramp that goes up to the base of the ladder pitch. The ramp was a mix of class 2, 3, and 4 and the top of the ramp itself was a worthy destination.

I would not have been able to free climb the ladder pitch, but getting belayed up was not an issue. Once at the top of the ladder pitch there was some scrambling left to do to get up to the summit. There were great views at the summit, so we hung out there for a bit before heading back.

We rappelled back down the ladder pitch, went down the ramp, and then made the steep descent on the trail back to the TH.

This was an awesome hike/climb and I am glad to have finally been able to do it!
