I had always wondered what it would be like to downclimb the crux of Baker's Way. Well today after clearing the lip and climbing on for a bit I realized that I had left my hiking shoes at the base of the climb. I could have gone to the top of the First Flatiron and picked them up on the way down as the approach shoes that I climb in are plenty comfortable for light hiking, but I decided to see how downclimbing the hard bit felt. It went fine. I retrieved my shoes and went back up the climb and finished my planned day.
