Baldy was said to have an L-4 cab in 1931. If so, I couldn’t find any evidence of such structure. But, it seems likely a camp may have been on the summit. Nestled between the two highest rocky knobs is a nice protected flat area where obvious signs of camping exist with many old sun bleached cut stumps, fire rings and old cans scattered about. A short scramble gets you to the rocky top where there is also signs of large rocks being moved around. But again, I saw no nails, concrete, wood boards, anchors, glass, etc.

Route
Just go up the hill, brush wasn't existant in 2018 but some downed burned trees to hop across.
Access
Take the Entiat Valley Road past Ardenvoir to FR5380, then up FR8410. High clearance is probably best with decent tires. A longer way can be from Lake Chelan if you are planning on doing Slide Ridge and Stormy Mountain. FR8410 goes all the way to Twenty-Five Mile Creek on Lake Chelan.
