NW Slopes  Sucess!

Contoured above the mines and took a loose slope up to the summit ridge, almost deposited me right on the summit. Very windy day. Descended more of the west ridge route to avoid the loose rock from my ascent.

SE Ridge  Sucess!

For some reason the appeal of this peak was that it was only 6 feet above the magic 13,000 foot status. Lots of mining activity and it seemed that I had the whole mountain to myself. Most of the hike for me was cross country because I had no beta on the route.

W Ridge Ski Descent  Sucess!

Following a ski descent of Mt Evans B, I made a creative skin of the W Ridge and SW face, with one 100ft bootpack just below the summit plateau. From there, creative patch-hopping allowed me to skin to just short of the summit. The ski back down required me to carry my skis twice, but actually yielded a few good turns dropping off the summit plateau.

Southeast Ridge  Sucess!

Great get in shape hike. We had an interesting experience on this mountain. One of our hikers who has been recovering from a bike crash - ended up breaking a bone in his ankle on some snow we went down on the descent. Luckily we ran into some graduate students who had a cart for their peat moss and we were able to wheel him down the rest of the mountain in the cart. What an adventure!! The first injury of any significance we have had in the mountains.

West Ridge  Sucess!

Quite a long hike due to the private property skirting I attempted. Snow conditions were funky, and the wind was brutal up high, but I still had a great time.

Route Climbed: West Ridge Date Climbed: December 13, 2004  Sucess!

Good trip with Brad who was nice enough not to bitch about a very poor route of my choosing. I think we managed to hit every pocket of hip deep faceted snow in South Mosquito Creek.
