10/12/2024 Route: West Willow Creek Posted On: 10/13/2024, By: IHikeLikeAGirl Info: Trail and 3rd class was dry (and mostly solid), gorgeous day! A few hunters, but plenty of parking at West Willow Creek. We did wear orange, to be safe. Aspens are bare, in case you weren't aware.... |

7/17/2024 Route: 13308/13179/13166 from West Willow Creek Posted On: 7/18/2024, By: JasonKline Info: The 13308/13179/13166/San Luis loop from West Willow Creek Trailhead is in full summer conditions with no snow/ice. For much of the route from 13308 to 13179 and from 13179 to 13166, we dipped a bit to the southeast/climber's right to avoid the ridge difficulties. It definitely involved some loose not-so-much-fun, but it was probably much better than staying on the ridge. |

9/1/2019 Route: North Slopes Posted On: 9/3/2019, By: supranihilest Info: I attempted to traverse to Point 13,155 from Point 13,180 C and found the rock too dangerously loose for my liking. I got to the volcanic hoodoos a few hundred yards from Point 13,155's summit, found they crumbled when touched, and then bailed north down steep, hardpacked dirt and rock to the Colorado Trail. Once on the trail I followed it northeast to the north slopes of Point 13,155, which are Class 1 grass. The summit block is intimidating looking but there's a Class 3 chimney and boulders you can climb up on solid rock to the summit. This rock is far, far better than the rock at the hoodoos, so don't let it scare you off. If traversing along the ridge to Point 13,300 and Point 13,155 be aware the rock on the ridge is exceptionally, dangerously loose. |
