Ascent Trip ReportI hopped across boulders for a while near the summit of Medicine Bow. After a bit this abated and I found the trail again. I walked this until near the county line and then veered left. An improbable small snag must have been placed as a potential county line given that it was the only thing in an immense sea of rocks and quite close to the HP. But I don't think it was exactly at the HP and again as with most liners it is hard to tell with certain. I just followed the GPS and the terrain and put in my due diligence. And then got off of this mtn quickly. I really liked the Medicine Bow area but this "highpoint" was neither high nor much of a point.
