Ascent of Potosi Mountain on 2009-05-09Date: | Saturday, May 9, 2009 | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | Peak: | Potosi Mountain | Location: | USA-Nevada | Elevation: | 8514 ft / 2595 m |
Ascent Trip ReportGoing up was pretty straightforward, though the loose rocks didn't make it too easy. Going back on the other hand, was considerably more challenging - the trail wasn't nearly as easy to keep, and the loose rocks made it slow going. Another challenge, both ways, was a loss of about 175 feet at one point on the ridgeline - and the slope was fairly steep on both sides!
