This is a pretty straight forward down an up TR of Pikes. We left breck around 7 and took our time gettting there since the report was that the rd would maybe open to the top later in the day due to high winds. When we got there we decided to pay the toll for the rd and go up to mile 13 or so where its was said to be closed due to 80-100 mph winds at the summit. We waited around for about 30 mins at the closure before it was opened around 11am. Drove to the top and dropped in ASAP due to how late in the day it was. We dropped in around noon with nice corn.
