Mt. Equity? -- Montezuma, CO

Post by culive2ride »

I went up to Montezuma and went up St. Johns for a bit and hiked up a pek with my friend. She said it was Mt. Equity but I can't find any information on the mountain! Please help me figure out what I climbed!! Here is a link to pictures: https://plus.google.com/photos/11389638 ... 2153177153

There is an Equity Mine on the northeast side of Glacier Mtn, which is a 12er. Judging by the steep gully it looks like you were going up in your photo with the town in the background, you were probably climbing up the northeast side of Glacier Mtn. Its also a popular backcountry ski out of Keystone, so the skier plaque would make sense there as its an avy chute, and I can see the road up to Santa Fe Peak switch backing across the valley, I would say you were climbing Glacier Mtn.
