Ascent Trip ReportDecided at the last minute to get a 14er in enroute to my hometown of Crested Butte from Denver. The weather forecast showed thunderstorms after 11 so I knew I had to do it early. I got started hiking at 8:30, and summitted at 9:45. The final ridgeline push was like Everest, a massive traffic jam of (4 dozen maybe?) very very very slow hikers was clogging the ridge and it took awhile to get around them, slowing me down. Anyways, because I knew the storms were coming I started back down at 10. On the way back, I strayed from the trails and crowds and followed a cable car route from one mine to the other. and when I got to the bottom at 11 it was likely the traffic jam was just getting to the top. I could hear thunder, and escaped the rain that came 15 minutes later, Overall a very successful morning on the easiest 14er out there.
