Partner or route recommendation - one night only
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 6:52 pm
Business is taking me to Denver December 1-2nd. I live in great flat state of Minnesota so any chance I get to go hiking/climbing I am all for it. Basically, I will have meetings during the day (possibly dinner too on the 1st) but I should have 8-10 hours of darkness to go play. Sleep- I can get it when I get home.
I was thinking of some fun/close hikes to Denver. I lived there for two years (a decade ago) and the only thing I can think of would be going to St. Mary's Glacier. Seems like most 13er/14er roads will be closed by then. I could bring my snowboard but without a full moon, doing that at night can be quite tricky. I also don't want to bring my full ice climbing kit since it is a work trip, but if there is some good ice to be had near Denver and someone is up for some midnight climbing sessions, I am totally game.
Any recommendations on places to go hiking/climbing? I believe I just need to be back in the hotel by 0800 on the 2nd.
Hey, I am from Minnesota- my mom taught me to appreciate whatever I get.
I am interested in: ice climbing, hiking, snowshoeing, basically anything that would put me in the mountains.
I should have access to a car...
Send me a PM or just reply to this thread with ideas- thanks in advance!
