Elk Tooth Peak winter hike/climb?
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 5:16 pm
I've climbed Elk Tooth in the summer (Indian Peaks Wilderness) and was wondering if anyone has any information on current snow conditions if hiking from Middle St. Vrain TH to the base of the "Gully from Hell" (as referenced in the SummitPost trip report)? Snowshoes required? I haven't done much winter hiking (and no winter climbing) so I'm assuming I should not attempt the actual gully climb without proper equipment/experience... true? Thanks!
