I've climbed the service road route in the summer, but I've been hearing about a more difficult mountaineers route for Mount Crested Butte?

Does anyone know where the route is located? If so, can anyone point me to page or an information source. Any info would be helpful, thx...

There's the occasional bolt on the ridge to the left (looking up) of hall of fame. Haven't done it personally, but I think there are some low 5th class sections.

some entries from the cbmg page: http://www.cbguidesblog.com/another-summer-gone-by/

hope that helps. BTW, it's just crested butte. Mount crested butte is redundant, and a little pet peeve of mine.

cool man, thanks that helps alot. and yea, the peaks offical name is crested butte, but people often confuse it with the town so i just add the "mount" and theres no problems.

yeah, it gets a little confusing between crested butte the town, mount crested butte the other town, and crested butte the mountain. anyway, have fun, i'm sure it's a fun route and one I should probably make a point of doing myself next summer
