This is for the JUNE hike only. We're still working out the details for the August 15th hike.
Where: Humboldt Peak
When: Sunday June 17. 6am start from S Colony Lakes
The summit hike is on Sunday. Some people are choosing to hike in to S Colony Lakes on Saturday and camping there Saturday night.
Others are just hiking in early on Saturday.
Additionally, some people are meeting up at Pizza Mania in Westcliffe at 2pm on Saturday for a meet and greet / pizza & beers / carpool to the TH.
I’m trying to get an idea of how many people are still interested and if this plan works for everyone?
The list of people that I currently have on the climbing calendar is as follows. (I will update this and the climbing calendar list by adding an asterix next to the people who confirm.)

Re: the placement of a memorial plaque on Humboldt:
Humboldt is in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Area, so the Forest Service says it is illegal. Also, David’s close friends are in agreement that David would not want a plaque placed in a wilderness area. I am sure we will remember David in other non-permanent ways.
Maybe we can have a little ceremony / Birthday celebration with some prayer flags, Colt 45, Hot Damn and, of course, whipped cream instead!
