Snow Climbs

Post by mikedh1980 »

I'm headed to CO from Aug 25-Sept 2, and I was wondering if there were any easy snow climbs that were likely to be in season that late in the year. I know some spots got record snow falls. Anything likely to be in season? All beta warmly appreciated.

From other forums there have been reports of decent snow here and there, plus there are a few recent TR's of ski descents on crystal peak and Clinton peak, also there is this thread going on dead dog (torrey's)

It looks pretty good now, especially if you start early (1-3am), but I am not sure whatanother month of summer will do to it. Hope this helped some-what
