Crestone Peak Conditions
Just wondering if anyone has a more recent idea of conditions since the last report on 9/22. Thanks!
Re: Crestone Peak Conditions
I too am interested in any conditions regarding snow/ice with recent weather.

Re: Crestone Peak Conditions
It's snowed each of the past two days, but much less than expected. More snow is forecast tomorrow.

Re: Crestone Peak Conditions
Any suggestions on how dangerous this climb would be for someone with only snow "trail hiking" experience?

Re: Crestone Peak Conditions
Not only that, I would take into account the slippery nature of crestone conglomerate rock when wet. All of those cobbles are round for a reason. They are polished.
