| no partners | | I had some time and wanted to check out a route up Coffee Flat Mtn. The plan was to hike into Reeds Camp and find a route up on to Coffee Flat Ridge and hike back toward the Dutchman trail. The plan worked but as usual there were a few things I would change on the route. On the hike in I ran into the guy I last saw when it snowed on us coming out of the Supes. [ photoset ] That was a good day. Reeds camp is pretty interesting. JohnLP posted some good photos in the past but I have a few to add. The off trail hiking isn't too bad going up or across but there are a lot of washes and some bouldering to slow progress a bit. The ridgeline is up and down so while fairly open it's still a good workout. There are many small caves/alcoves and I saw a raptor nest and maybe some mountain lion scat.  Nobody was home but sometimes these remote caves may not be worth it. After looking at my track at home I found I was fairly close to the summit but that wasn't the plan for today. The exit route is good so this one should happen in December. |
