7 Day Dumpster Dive

Get over it.

Good advice! I think I will bag 6262 that route. Thanks painfree.

How have I never known about this? Even more importantly, why does Colorado Christian University own the backside of 6262?6262&CCU.png

A few years back, they were looking to move their campus there.

That could explain why I had a guy watching me with binoculars for most of the trip up from Turkey Creek Road. He pulled up after I was about 200ft above the road, and kept his eye on me until I was on the "summit ridge," where he could no longer see me. I took a break out of sight, and he stuck around for at least 15 minutes after I was out of view. He was gone for the descent, thankfully.

Probably  just couldn't take his eyes off your sexy legs

Thanks. If I had to bushwack to build a campus, I would abandon plans to build too. Now if only CU didn't do research in the arickaree/Albion vicinity.

Wow! Thanks Teresa! I'm going to have to try some of these tricks. So far, I've been sticking to routes and peaks on state game lands because they are clearly defined. This is a whole new level of planning.

Had a little window to do some dumpster diving today, so put my recon mission to work on summiting this guy, http://listsofjohn.com/peak/4010.

Door to door about 8 miles. Completed in 4 hours. Through Beaver Ranch, Newton Park, a vacant, lot and a close to summit house.

I'll create a caltopo map later to share the route, but the following shows an over view of it:

Here are a few pics from the trip.

On top, little rock scramble to avoid the "Summit House".

Obligatory Summit pics.

here's a good list, at the opposite end of the spectrum, all the CO 4ers. I wonder what the speed record is for them, under a day seems quite doable. These are just the 7 ranked ones, there's a bunch more unranked.
