Vertical Distance: 2,870 ft
Distance (Round Trip): 7.5 mi
Location: Pike National Forest
Date Climbed: October 2009
Well we learned a valuable lesson this day - don't assume the footprints you are following belong to hikers and a dog. The area had recently gotten a lot of snow and we were off trail following what turned out to be ice climbers and a coyote. We found ourselves on a rock face 3,000 feet over the valley with no rope or ice gear. Summit attempt was unsuccessful but we will be back this summer to make it.
