Hiking and Scrambling

[bluesman 7]

Anyone else hiking and scrambling for exercise and enjoyment.

For the last few years I was going up a small local mountain for exercise, figuring that going relatively fast up a hill often should signal my body to lose weight. Covid put an end to that though, as Mt. Sanitas is a way too popular and narrow trail. I rock climbed for years starting in 1970 and last fall did some canyoneering with a friend which reminded me how pleasurable it is to me to be moving over rock. So in March I started doing easy scrambling routes around Boulder that I had never bothered with when I was younger and climbing seriously. I'm having a great time.

That's one big hunk of 300 million year old sandstone.

The East Face is ~1,500', though the bottom 600' is rarely climbed. The 900' East Face Route starts at the East Bench which is located where the tree line joins the north face.

The 3rd Flatiron is closed to climbers and hikers from Feb. 1 to July 31 to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. So I plan on doing it a bunch this fall until the weather turns, then it will be off limits till next August.

You've got me pining REAL BAD for a return visit to Colorado, you know that?

Been climbing for over forty five years... Yosemite, Tetons, Wind Rivers, RMNP, Eldorado Canyon, The Diamond, all the 14ers many times, many of the high Centennials, Boulder Canyon, of course The Flatirons, Maiden, Matron... the list is too long.

Trails and peaks are now getting way too crowded, used to not see another person on the high peaks or technical routes even on weekends. No longer. Gotta head out to far away, off the beaten routes and peaks to get some alone time in the backcountry.

There were no real guidebooks when I started, no GPS, had to use a map and compass, climbed the wrong peak a few times, five forced bivouacs, three in winter, one solo in January on Broken Hand Pass in the Crestones. A very long night after a traverse of the Peak to the Needle.

Bought my first and only GPS, a Garmin 60, still have it, when after submitting Elbert in the dead of winter, got caught in a whiteout, terrible snow storm, trails all but disappeared, had to literally find my way off the peak back to the Trailhead at Half-moon, got to my truck at 9:30pm, didn't want to spend another bivouac at age fifty two if I didn't have to.

The backcountry is still beautiful. Enjoy!

Here's a closeup of a family of Mountain Goats, Mom, Yearling, Newborn, early September on the route up to North Maroon at 12K ft. They allowed me to get really close, look at their eyes, all directly focused on me. Beautiful animals with their coats all full, getting ready for the upcoming cold winter.

five forced bivouacs, three in winter, one solo in January on Broken Hand Pass in the Crestones. A very long night after a traverse of the Peak to the Needle.

I had an episode the first time that I descended the Needle by coming down the wrong gully. I had always wondered how people died on the 14ers. When I found myself very low, and in the wrong gully, 3rd classing on mid 5th class rock without gear and past rappel slings that had been left by other disoriented parties, I had the revelation "This is one of the ways people die on the 14ers". After getting off of the mountain, and looking back at the face, I couldn't even figure out what I had done.

I've been hiking and scrambling in the UK for 35 years and have no plans to give up. Some parts of the Lake District are very popular, and even more so now with overseas travel difficult, but many parts of the Scottish Highlands remain very quiet once you're 10 minutes' walk away from a road.

 

[EB Newfarm]

Early in my climbing days, I had a trip where the 3rd Flatiron, Reggae + Calypso, and the Bastille were the main objectives. After completing those I felt pretty good for a beginner from the midwest.

After getting off of the mountain, and looking back at the face, I couldn't even figure out what I had done.

I would venture to guess you descended the East Gully rather than the West Gully with the crossover. The East can get very sketchy in spots and the difficulty there exceeds that of the West. The Conglomerate rock in the Crestones is excellent for climbing but when the weather rolls in, it comes in very hard and fast. I got chased off of Kit Carson one time when the thunder claps were booming all around the peak and had to scramble down a long gully so fast the whole Dantes Inferno experience scared the bejesus out of me and my climbing partner. The Ellingwood Arete on the Needle is one of the Fifty Greatest Climbs in North America. A True Classic.

Here's a shot of An Teallach, in the Scottish Highlands, taken 10 days ago from a nearby group called the Fannaichs. Plenty of hard hiking in this area, with some good scrambles, too.

Had an unbelievable day in that I had the whole rock all to myself up and down with a literal 30 minutes on the summit. The only other climbers that I saw all day were clear over on the First Flatiron. Normally one would see 6-12 climbers on the route. I felt guilty leaving the summit since it is so uncommon to be alone on it, but there is 500' of down climbing to get off the rock and I didn't want to get stiff.
