Post by Peter_Medal »

Planning a future expedition here...has anyone actually climbed down to the bottom of the crater?

It's on my to-do list this summer, since I live nearby all summer. Let me know if you want company. I'm sometimes available Sunday through Wed. I don't know the answer to your question, but glancing at all 17 triplogs I found that Kingsnake said he would not attempt it without ropes and climbing gear.

A group of my peeps and I will be watching the Persieds Meteor Showing from Chumleys camp spot on the Blue Ridge Reservior this Friday night.... going to bag and tag Colton Crater and SP Crater Saturday August 13th. I have climbing gear but hike partner does not, so we will look for a non-technical approach. Your welcome to join us.....

@Peter_Medal
Thanks, Peter, but my days off are Sunday-Wed. Sounds fun, though!
