Flirting with the great depths of the abyss, Ellen stops to peer off the sheer southwest face of Challenger's fun Class 2 ridge route. Not everyone should try this! Ascent of Kit Carson/Challenger Point during the July 24 SP Members Gathering. Digital photo by Aaron Johnson

Voted 10/10 | Fantastic shot Aaron!!! You know I am not big in hero shots, but this one is so much more. Check out more SPers on the ridge behind Ellen. | | Posted Jul 26, 2004 2:41 pm |

Voted 9/10 | Looks a lot like it did when I was up there and turned around from my trip over to Kit Carson. It was clear as a bell until I summited Challenger and got to see what was on the west side. Looked exactly like it does in your pic. Hauled tail down and about 30 minutes after I hit Willow Lake, enormous amounts of cloud to ground lightning! I think I will overnight Kit Carson next time and get an earlier start! | | Posted Jul 24, 2009 2:40 pm |

Hasn't voted | Yep. We had a camp just above Willow Lake. We got there and about an hour later it let loose for a couple of hours. I've Kit Carson in one day...twice. It's a brutally long day but worth it, however, camping is better and is certainly the better way to enjoy the mountain. Have fun and good luck with your next visit. | | Posted Jul 24, 2009 6:40 pm |
