Interesting. If this was what the current topo looked like, Artists Bluff would be listed at 2368 and Bald would be listed as 2330 on LoJ.
Glad we did both! We did this short hike after the Franconian Traverse, and were going to just aim for Artists Bluff since it's the higher & ranked peak, but saw that Bald was open & likely had the better view - which it did! Nice loop. Bald was a much nicer peak with some cool slabs below the summit.
This picture shows the view of Artists Bluff from Bald. The closer trees are on the summit of Artists Bluff. It really looked as though those treetops were much lower - not sure if this picture really shows that. The apine peak in the distance is Lafayette, with Eagle Cliff in between.
