3/16/2013 Route: sw - via berthoud Posted On: 3/16/2013, By: jeremy27 Info: Thin snow and ice above treeline. Snowshoes might have been helpful up to treeline but there is a good skiers bootpack to follow instead. Huge cornices on the east side of the ridge but the trail was practically snow free above treeline. Good luck. |

6/15/2012 Route: Berthoud Pass Posted On: 6/15/2012, By: IHikeLikeAGirl Info: Summer conditions. Hauled an ice axe, micro spikes, and gaitors up the ridge from Colorado Mines to Parry Peak...much to the disbelief of mtgirl and USA_Keller. Snow can be found, but you would have to make an effort to walk through it.... |

11/24/2011 Route: via Berthoud/CO Mines Posted On: 11/26/2011, By: Monster5 Info: Essentially dry. Microspikes may be helpful from Berthoud to treeline, but not necessary. No other special gear needed. E cornices are still small and obvious. |
