With Castle  Sucess!

Great day....the ridge was still snowy, but the wind was gusting.

With Castle  Sucess!

9/3/05 - Missed this summit on my first climb of Castle Peak and made sure to visit it on my return trip a few months later. Still have my eye on the Coundrum Couloir so chances are I'll be there again before too long.

12/26/11 - Winter ascent from Ashcroft. Traversed from Castle and then back.

3 Times  Sucess!

8-22-07 second time climbing Conundrum. We didn't get Conundrum the last time we did Castle so we made sure to climb it this time.

8-29-09 another time climbing Castle and Conundrum. We reclimbed Castle this time instead of dropping down from the saddle.

with Castle  Sucess!

This was my first time climbing Conundrum. I climbed Castle so since I was there I went over and got Conundrum as well.

Route Climbed: South Ridge  Sucess!

I bagged the summit just before the 'winter' storm front moved over the Rockies! The clouds closing in on the Bells & Pyramid to my West was awesome. About a foot of poorly consolidated snow in Montezuma Basin. At times, I was in a white out :) Not the best day to be solo!

South Ridge  Sucess!

Over from Castle Peak. A great day for sure, but not enough snow. Next time I won't come in August.

Traverse from Castle  Sucess!

Went by surprisingly fast. Nothing real big or exciting about this mountain. Nice views of Castle though.

'Hooray'  Sucess!

Did the traverse and then came back to Castle to meet my friends who were just arriving at the summit of Castle. They were skeptical when I had told them I had already gone to the other peak and then come back already!

From Castle  Sucess!

The highlight for me was the 15 minute nap on top! A good day.

Route: Conundrum Couloir  Sucess!

Nice steep couloir climb with some ice at the choke. Very windy.

Conundrum Couloir  Sucess!

Climbed and skied the Conundrum Couloir. It was cold and windy, so i wasn't sure if it was going to warm up or not, and since I also wanted to do Castle, I skied it when it was frozen. That choke is steep and narrow and not so much fun when it is icy!

started too early

Didn't make the summit, was my first unsuccessful attempt...gotta happen sometime right? My pontiac wasn't about to attempt going all the way, so we had an extra few miles on our hike...started so early that some clouds rolled through that looked questionable and we were off the trail. Of course once we got down it turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day. I'll be back.

Nice peak  Sucess!

Climbed via Castle-Conundrum saddle, after summitting Castle. Accidentally kept going across the actual summit at first, then spotted the summit register, which no one had signed in several days. A good peak for solitude even when Castle is busy!

Headed back over Castle rather than contend with the snowless dirt slope below the Castle-Conundrum saddle
