Climbed with Sunshine via the North Slopes from Lake San Cristobal Road. A pleasant hike throught the San Juan highlands to Redcloud's colorful summit. As storm clouds continued to move in, we rested on the summit for only a few minutes before beginning the traverse over to Sunshine.
Very colorful hike. I was one of the first ones on the trail, so I didn't have to deal with the cloud untill later. Met a guy grilling a steak on top of the mountain. Wild stuff.

Great climb,I was very young - notable memory: Suzuki Samari going over 40 mph on the road which pissed my dad off quite a bit... :)
