Little Bear via WRI June 26-28 - Looking for a Partner

Post by BobAugenthaler »

Looking for a partner for Little Bear via West Ridge Indirect Route during the weekend of June 26-28, Friday-Sunday.

I’d like to do this as a 2 day trip. Day 1: hike up to Lake Como. Day 2: summit Little Bear, then back home. So either Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday.

I do not have a vehicle to get up Lake Como Road, so I plan on parking near the lower trailhead.

I’m at 49/58 on Colorado 14ers over the past 2-3 years. My most recent 14er summit was Snowmass via East slopes on June 12.

I’m hoping to finish out this year. After Little Bear, I still need Maroon Bells, Capitol, Chicago Basin, Culebra.

I'm also looking for a partner for Little Bear this weekend. I can hike in Saturday and summit Sunday. I will not be hiking back down as I am meeting a partner to do Blanca on Monday. I am at 44 14ers. I have not done one yet this year. I am on the slower side of hiking. I hike about 2-3 miles per hour under 12,000ft. After that it is one mile/hr. If this hike goes well I am also planning the Maroon Bells this summer. I have a permit for the first week in August.

Do you have Instagram or Facebook? Can we connect on one of these? A few other people have also expressed tentative interest.
