| steve simmons | Route Climbed: grouse canyon approach from the west Date Climbed: sept. '99  | |
| rugged approach from the west, summated solo just as the last hint of light faded from the western sky, very windy and cold, slept on summit for a while then descended along the standard eastern route. | |

| If you can drive pretty far up the hill, the hike shortens dramatically...wonderful hike...steep at the top, but wonderful views await you! | |

| nospringchicken | Route Climbed: miners rt to north saddle Date Climbed: August 3, 2001 | |
| If you have a 4wd vehicle, drive past the radio towers a few hundred yards to one of the parking areas. Most people climbed the southeast saddle, but we went up the north saddle, just above the old mine shaft and walked across the saddle ridge to the peak. This requires more scambling and is a bit longer than the more popular southeast route. For the SE rount, follow the trail as it turns west and walk until you can climb up to the saddle below the main summit and SE sub peak, then follow the ridge to the summit. The climb up to the saddle isn't well marked. For best weather, be on the trail by 6am, or an hour earlier if you can't drive to the radio towers. Photo is a 15 picture panorama. Mt. Antero is on the left. | ||

| I have climbed the eastern route both in summer and winter. It is another nice hike in the summer and a cold windy snowshoe in the winter. | |

| Drove to the antennas and hiked the rest of the road. Beautiful day to hike. Mountains starting to get to the crowded season though. | |

| We drove our 4WD up to the 11.000' mark and hiked the rest of the road to the point where the trail takes off over the ridge (to the north side) at around 12,000'. A beautiful day. Just before getting back down to the car we gave our extra water to some kids who had run out. | |

| This was the second of six 14ers that my friend Duane and I bagged in six days during September 2000. It was a spectacular and warm day for this late in the summer, so we were told. The warm weather brought out much skin as shorts were far more comfortable than more traditional mountain attire. We parked at one of the switchbacks to give ourselves a bit more of a hike. It was a fabulous day to be a peak bagger. | |
