Telescope Peak is done quite frequent as a winter climb, though I've never done it myself. The access is good year-round, and rather than follow the usual trail route, most doing the peak in winter head straight up the north slopes of Rogers Peak and then follow the ridge south up and over or around Bennett Peak and then on to Telescope. Cornices (perhaps on the final ridge to Telescope's summit) and the occasional avalanche-prone slope (north side of Rogers and the NE slope of Telescope) should be expected. Again, though, I've never done it in winter, so my info is educated guess-work and some third party.
Sorry you won't be making AZ this weekend.
I'll be putting up a Muddy Peak page early next week. It's a great one.
Be sure and look me up next month.
(By the way, I'm still hoping to add more pics to this page) |
