Condition Update
To supplement the other conditions reports of the Crestones with some photos... 1: Crux of the Broken Hand pass approach. The top of the snow (in shadows) is the crossover step onto rock with a quick move or two to surmount. 2: The Needle & Peak from the summit of Broken Hand Peak (BHP). 3: Humboldt's southern flanks and west ridge from the summit of BHP. 4: Milwaukee & Pico Aislado from the summit of BHP. The hike of BHP from the pass up the SW slopes was snow free and it's ready for flatlanders.

d_baker	Cool shot 7/3/2013 1:19am Monster. I hear you ran into a mad dude while in Sand Creek...
Monster5	Slow dude? 7/3/2013 2:16am With the pot belly? Yeah, he claimed to have done a few peaks in the area, but I'm pretty sure he just sat around at the lake all day punting little marmot bastards.
d_baker	I'm confused 7/3/2013 2:20am I'm a slow dude (both mentally and while on my feet) with a pot belly. But I'm pretty sure I didn't see you nor do I punt marmots, bastards or not. :) Sitting around a lake sounds cool though!
