The summit is pretty cool, there's a nice natural wind shelter, which was nice because it was cold and windy at the top. Tagged this on a big loop from CU Campus, up to Bear Peak, over to Green Mtn, then down back to campus.
Got this one a little late in the day. It was a fun little scramble to the summit. If the two ppl I met up there are reading this, sorry for the interruption.
Re: Northwest Face from NCAR Trailhead via Fern Canyon
They put those closure signs all over the best places. I never see those signs and I wouldn't admit it if I did. I'd like to see a Boulder bird pig catch me up there; that's my briar patch up there and I'm Brer Rabbit.
Northwest Face from NCAR Trailhead via Fern Canyon Date Climbed: May 9, 2008
Hiked the Northwest Face from NCAR Trailhead via Fern Canyon. The third class scrambling was really fun on solid rock. Unfortunately, this is one of those "do as I say, not as I do" moments. I found out after the fact that the summit of Nebel Horn is closed from February 1 through July 31 to protect breeding raptors. I knew that the area east of the Nebel Horn was closed, but I didn't know that approaching from the West was also a no-no. Now I know.
