Nice report, and great photos!
The sunset pictures from Arrow are fantastic! Awesome experience.
Congratulations on a great climb.
Oh, and that downclimb off the S side of Vestal is for sure a crappy one!
Dang nice work on the climbs and TR Matt! 7/21/2010 12:32am
One of the few places in Colorado I haven't been yet. Can't wait to get down there, but at this point I think I need about 3 weeks to just do a peak bagging extravaganza between Elk Park and Chicago Basin.
That classic shot of Wham! Ridge on Vestal from the Arrow summit is probably one of my favorite mountain profiles of all time...
Those are some killer shots you got, especially the sunset ones from the summit of Arrow. Too bad you couldn't get the Trinities, but still looked like a great trip. This is an area that I'd really like to get back to.
