- Ascent via Crestone Traverse (West Ridge/Face)
- Descent via Southeast Slopes to Broken Hand Pass down to South Colony Lakes 2WD Trailhead
- Big day. Traverse was fun but final head wall was as exposed and scary as advertised! Rolling clouds did not help the confidence. Came back to #trailsidemargaritas with 3 miles left and they gave us free margaritas and hot dogs! Props to those guys for hauling all that food etc up there! |
