Nice job, clear and concise. This great mountain finally gets the credit it deserves. Looking forward to your route description to see if it's the same way we took. Love your pictures! Mine are lousy so I'm not uploading them.
Jim, I'm glad you posted this beautiful mountain. Every time I ascend to the summit of an LCW summit and look west; the first thing I do to orient myself with the Mosquito Range is to look for the "distinctive" and perfectly shaped Horseshoe Mountain. Great Job.
Very nice page on a pleasant mountain. I realy like your photos of the snow draped cirque. Horseshoe Mountain has another distinuishing feature... It is one of the few high summits in the Mosquito Range composed of the Leadville Limestone. This marine sedimentary rock gives the cirque its stratified appearence. From a shollow sea to 13,000 ft... ah I love geology! Good job. It was nice to meet you on Guyot.
Thanks for the vote. Thanks also for putting up some pictures of it from the west side. You've got a good eye! I've trained myself for a few years to identify the Mosquito peaks when seen from the west and can only pick out Horseshoe on a good day. :)

Untitled CommentThanks Grant. Weston Pass does look good, but going going up the southern couloir of the cirque looks even better.

Untitled CommentThanks Kane. I orient myself with Horseshoe too. It looks great from a distance but even better from up close.

Untitled CommentThanks Jon. I wondered about the geology of the cirque. Now I know. Also nice to meet you and the dogs on Guyot. That was like the icing on the cake.
