| no partners | | Left Mill in the wee hours of the morning. Hiking by 4 am. Approach went quicker than expected and the approach was much easier and forgiving than Teakettle Peak a couple of days before. The crux still had snow at the base which made me a little uneasy soloing up in slippery approach shoes. The climb was short and had maybe one or two moves any more difficult than 4th class. A fall would not be good but I would say that it did not feel super exposed and anyone comfortable leading 5.7 trad can leave the rack at home for this one. A 60m rope will do just fine to rap off the summit block, which is a cool free hanging rap into the snow if it's still there.
Met an awesome guy on the summit who was doing EVERY CO CENTENNIAL in a month! An FKT by a longshot. After that, he headed to Wyoming to get the FKT on their 13ers, and then Montana to get the FKT on their 12ers. He's also doing the highpoint of every country in the world with his twin brother and his website can easily be found by searching "country highpoints" Needless to say, it was a joy getting to hike out with him! This was a fun one and proud I can say I've done the toughest CO Centennial! |
