Grizzly Gulch 14ers (Handies, Sunshine, redcloud)

Post by StarGirl »

I've seen a fairly recent TR for Sunshine. Has anyone attempted since or done any of the others?
I was sick as a dog when I tried a couple of weeks ago and very foolishly made the long arse drive from Denver alone, only to turn back on Handies from exploding sinuses. It hurt to have to turn back but it was the right thing to do.

Anyway, weather is looking good for this weekend and am thinking of going back with a friend this time for one more shot. We'd be taking gaitors, axe, and microspikes. Don't have crampons but perhaps we should borrow some just in case.
