Potosi Peak Alternate Descent Route Option [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Potosi Peak Alternate Descent Route Option
POTOSI PEAK ALTERNATE DESCENT ROUTE ILLUSTRATION
RED: Descent route as described HERE. Involves a Class 3 chimney down climb on good rock (good for Potosi, anyway), followed by a loose screen descent. Best of the three options.
BLUE: A possible option, but looks perilously loose and could be dangerous in wet weather, and the entrance looks messy
GREEN: Scree sprinkled hardpan at a steep angle makes this choice iffy at best, and it could be perilous in wet conditions
