Sorry for bumping the old thread, but I climbed Heart Mountain today. Nice climb, a lot of straight up. Did you do the whole loop that heads over to the other two mountain peaks and goes all the way around, with a 5 km or so hike parallel with the highway?? Holy smokes, that almost killed me. The downclimb is always the hardest for me, and that long way around was absolutely brutal. If you did do the loop I can guarantee you that Baldy will be easier than heart. If you just went straight up and straight down, it's pretty comparable to Baldy in a lot of ways, I think.
