Ascent Trip ReportWe climbed Big and West Craggy from Copper Glance Trail. We left the trail around 5900 ft and climbed straight up the hill to the SE Ridge (although you could follow the ridge straight up from the trail at 5700ft). Then, we largely followed the ridge up to the summit. Around 7600 ft, the ridge turns from open forest and meadows to scree. Above this there is some very loose rock, and party-induced rockfall is a big concern. Near the top, we stayed to the left side of the ridge. We could not find any sort of summit register on either of the two highpoints of the summit. The descent down the west ridge was straightforward. |
