Almost made it. Went the wrong way going up. Ate lunch in a little cave near the summit. Ran out of water while eating lunch and then got into a fight with an agave plant... I lost that one. Gonna try again on my next trip now that I know what I did wrong.

but did get engaged, so it wasn't a total loss.

Great views
Packed up that morning and climbed Lost Mine on way out. Great views all around. Good end to a fun trip.

From Lost Mine Trail
Headed over here with Nga after hiking up Casa Grande earlier in the day. A fairly rugged bushwhack (OK, "fairly" is an understatement... the brush got pretty ugly in places, but at least Nga was nice enough not to give me *too* hard a time about where I was taking us). The higher left spire was a short, fun scramble, although no harder than class 3 IMO. Unfortunately, there was no register to be found. But there were some pretty nice views to compensate.

climbed again with a group of 7 other friends and got another group of people to love Big Bend. a careless move on the way down led to a severe sprain and a long hobble to the trailhead.

One of my favorite hikes in Big Bend, Not too long, not too hard, not too steep, and great views. Still enough of a challenge to make it worth it. watch out for the glass summit register.

Lost Mine TrailClimbed this with my husband and 6 yo daughter. Took a total of about 3 hours. Moderately strenuous, with an amazing view from the top!

Route Climbed: Lost Mine Trail Date Climbed: November 2002I thought I climbed it. I climbed the right, or east
spire twice in 2002, but since the page went up
I see that the left spire is supposed to be it. Oh
well, it was a tough little climb in the best kept secret,
Big Bend. Now I have a good excuse to go back!
