Sunlight/Windom from East
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:45 pm
I'll be in CO for 10 days at the end of August. One of my goals is Oso via Roell Creek. Yes, I am aware of the undertaking... and have planned/scouted for 2+ years. If Oso goes well, I'd also like to climb the Eolus group. I was wondering if anyone has summited Sunlight or Windom from the East (Sunlight/Hazel Lakes) without needing technical gear (ie - very low Class 5 or lower)? Based on some limited photos, it appears possible (http://www.summitpost.org/chicago-basin-peaks/682327). Again, I realize this will require extensive bushwhacking. It just looks so interesting from that direction. If it's not possible, I'll just go up and over Columbine Pass into Chicago Basin. Thanks in advance.
