Mt. Sneffels 14, 150 ft. 8 hours from road to summit, around 5000 ft climb. Our north face direct route went up the rock "v" above the snow, baring left along the shadow after a couple pitches of 5.6.
Peter crossing the loose rock section.
A true rock garden full of columbine and purple fringe, among other flowers, brought a smile to my face and memories of Bea who also had a passion for alpine flora.
Looking up "the Snake", a popular route when there is more snow. It was tricky crossing it in worn sneakers and sharp rock "tools."
Looking up the hundreds of feet of class 3 scrambling rock.
