snow route help for sangres end of may 2025

[Ericds84]

As I'm sure folks will rush to tell you, what equipment you'll need more than a month from now will depend on countless factors, such as weather and conditions, the aspect of the routes you're considering, and also your own preferences. The Sangres tend to hold a bit less snow and melt out sooner. For example I've climbed West Spanish Peak in mid-May without encountering any snow above tree line, but there are likely other routes where icy conditions would likely be found. Your best bet is to track conditions reports on this site as your trip approaches. If you're visiting from out of state, you'll probably want to bring ice ax, crampons, microspikes, and snow shoes, and then you can make a game-day decision about what you want to carry with you on specific climbs. I've personally found crampons unnecessary that late, but I still like bringing microspikes. In areas prone to deeper snow, you also want to get off the snow as soon as you can to avoid postholing and avy risk that comes with rising temps.

Saved routes from your account here?
I thought the app would be what to use for saved routes.
And maybe not fully relying on your 14ers account to get you up a hill would be a good idea or skill (map nav) to work on.
