We climbed it on a sixteen mile monster shuttle from Berthoud to Rollins pass. A storm came in on Bancroft and it was very cold.

We climbed from Alice up the road to Loch Lomond and then up this ridge. We continued north to James and then down St. Mary's glacier for a nice loop hike with a short shuttle.

This is one of my backyard mountains. I like it like a familiar drinking buddy.

Perfect spring corn made for a great "warm-up" ski descent for other CO peaks. Fun, moderate snow climbing and skiing.

eurobeerRoute Climbed: From Loch Lomond Date Climbed: Sept 6, 2003
The mountain road was pretty rocky and made for an interesting morning. Once we got to the lake we started the hike around 7:00am. The weather continued to worsen throughout the morning. We got to 12,700 feet and we were covered by clouds. At this time we began to descend back to the car. Overall it was a beautiful mountain. I'd love to try this mountain again.

Great hike along the Continental Divide. Easy, relatively level hike up to Rogers Pass. The guidebook I had consulted for this hike said that there was no trail going up to James Peak, only bouldering. I was surprised to find a well defined trail cut by shovels complete with switchbacks and red flag markers on both sides of James Peak.



Weather conditions were perfect (clear skies, 60s, virtually no wind, no threatening clouds) so I decided to go on across to Bancroft (13,250) and then to Parry Peak (13,391). I radioed back to my family at their house in Fraser that I was doing this. If I had realized that I was already halfway to Berthoud Pass, I would have continued on to there. Instead, I turned around and came back across Bancroft and James Peaks.



There was no log book on top of Parry Peak. There was a log book on top of James but no pen or pencil to sign it with! I did sign the log book on Bancroft.
