Rick and Matt on the summit

This was a great climb and we definitely appreciated the effort it took to bag this peak in the snow.

Re: crestone peak & needle

That's cool. I climbed the NW Couloir on Crestone Peak with my buddy Rick (in picture) last year in July and then soloed the Needle. It's a little eerie climbing solo on a peak like the Needle with clouds all around and thunder in the distance.

Re: crestone peak & needle

Thats the way I felt on the peak WITHOUT the clouds, it was remote and scary! These are big mountains. but sometimes it has to be done!
