Climb up onto South King from Baldy Junction - it takes just under 10 minutes. A few short ups and downs, several quite steep, then a climb climb up onto Mid King after about another 20 minutes. Great views from the top!

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From Mid King, drop down into the saddle between, then a few short ups (quite steep in spots) and downs to head across to South King. From the top of South King, drop down gently to the junction. Just under 20-30 minutes.
