Broken Hand to Milwaukee. Was able to make it Broken Hand to saddle - barely - but bailed into the Cottonwood drainage. Good times.

But yet you can easily get to 13,198 (Mountain Boy) from Inde Pass. Classic ski loop/car shuttle. Did it a few years ago.Tony1 wrote:Huh, glad I stopped by this thread. I think I'll scratch that off the list.TravelingMatt wrote: Sawatch:

[*]Climber's Pt -> PT 12,844 (between Keller and North Traverse) via Bershgrund Pass.
Dad Mike has a trip report about doing this in a rain storm with 0 visibility and said it goes at Class 3-4 using bypasses to the east/north if I recall correctly. There is a 5.4+ vertical-ish knife edge move in order to stay ridge proper. We had to bypass to the west/south due to a dusting to 3" of snow on the east/north side.

Re: 13er ridges you might think go but actually don't
I remember this now; I was trying to go 13090 --> West Truro --> Truro. The 13090/WT ridge has some nice scrambly parts but I got some 100 feet down from West Truro and decided screw it, retracing my route back over West Truro. I recall spotting a more reasonable route up from Truro Lake.Chicago Transplant wrote:Truro to West Truro, the towers don't show up on the topo and you have to go around them.
Another "Kendallesque" pair seems to be the two Haydens, southwest of Ouray.

Has anyone made it from Fortress to Precipice (or vice versa)?

Also Drift to Fletcher, although it looks like you can bypass the class-5 notch by dropping down on the north side a ways.awilbur77 wrote:Atlantic to Fletcher

South Maroon to Belleview Mtn. While I do not remember any dedicated 5th class moves, the route was loose enough to make the "never again" list.
I thought I was going out for a fun afternoon ridge run, and ended up with a bike ride down Maroon Creek Rd. in the dark.

Pink Peak to Red Peak B. I haven't heard of anyone attempting this traverse, and I wonder if it would even be worth it. (C'mon people, Unranked 12ers != )
