Peter Gram3 Peaks in a Day  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Nov 21, 2009
Started at Geyser Pass Winter Parking, followed the road to the pass, and climbed through deep snow to the North Ridge of Mellenthin. Traversed over to Peale next. After that I scrambled over the Razor Fang to Tuk, and descended north into Gold Basin and back to the car.

Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2008

Mucho pot holing, wished I'd had ski's like the two we meet on top, had a great glissade though down the north face in a great shoot. I tried to do the triple in July 97, made Tuk and Peale but the thunder bumpers got to intense by about noon.

BritetteSkied NW Ridge  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Mar 18, 2004

Climbed NW ridge, but left skis at base of rock section. Got to summit and thought 'dang how stupid were we?'as the North face looked to be full of consolidated stable powder. Sadly downclimbed to skis and skied through Horse Gulch back to Geyser Pass. But - beautiful sunny day on a summit in La Sals in the winter, with the desert below - can't ask for more.

Date Climbed: Mar 16, 2007

Climbed the large shale all the way up the west face to the peak. A lot of effort, but it was probably a unique way to go.

Date Climbed: Mar 16, 2007

We were heading towards peak 12271, but got on the ridge heading directly to Mellenthin, so we decided to just scramble up the west face. It was great weather and a great hike. We were too tired to do Tuk and Peale that day.

Vagabond ManifestoGoats  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2006

Summitted as part of Middle La Sal Traverse, last peak of the day, summitted at 6:30 PM. Perfect weather all day. Herd of domestic (not mountain) goats at the summit, staring curiously. As you would expect given the late summit time, bushwhacking below treeline in the dark was interesting. Don't miss nearby Mt. Laurel!

mounthotdishRoute Climbed: Geyser Pass Date Climbed: March 5th 2005  Sucess!
Lots of snow, but very accessible from Geyser Pass Road. Weather was poor, but got a good window for the summit. Fairly steep ascent with a fun, narrow ridge to follow. Near whiteout conditions on way down. Excellent late winter climb. 3.5 hr ascent, 2 hr. descent.

rmjwintersRoute Climbed: Geyser Pass Date Climbed: June 2003  Sucess!

Climbed from Geyser Pass straight south up a residual snow spur on the north side of Mell. Snow was soft enough to not require crampsons or ice axe. Reached the summit in just over an hour.

Nice end to a nice round trip peakbagging extravaganza in the La Sals. I'd been meaning to make a page for the peak since June, but I dragged my heels about getting it done. Now I'm banging my head from the missed opportunity! and by 2 days! AAARRGG!!!!

grandwazooRoute Climbed: La Sal Pass Date Climbed: Sept 27th 2003  Sucess!

Camped at the end of the jeep trail. Hit the trail around 7:30 am, nice calm day. Decided on hitting all of the 12,000 on the ridge over to Mellenthin, not like the other guy with me. He did all three peaks (Peale, Tuk and Mellethin). I made it back to camp by 11:00 am and he was only an hour behind.
