Re: Unexpected
On South Maroon this past Monday, my team was at the 13,250 ft ridge/notch when a solo climber came down from the summit with his full-sized black lab. He said it took them 1.5 hours each way from the ridge. How that dog did Maroon (which isn't allowed anyway I don't think), I have no idea, let alone at what sounded like a race pacep...but between that and the fighter jets buzzing me on Crestone it's been a weird couple of weeks. He left a plastic bag of doggy doo on the suck trail on the descent. Wow.

Re: Unexpected
There's no regulation against dogs on the Bells. Several dogs have done both. One of our dogs probably could have when she was younger but I never would have thought it worth the risk to her or other climbers.mountainlover153 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 8:24 pm On South Maroon this past Monday, my team was at the 13,250 ft ridge/notch when a solo climber came down from the summit with his full-sized black lab.

Certainly not common but obviously not impossible.

Re: Unexpected
Where is that crash site? That forest looks way to lush to be CO so if it is, there's only a few small places I've found that look like that.

This tarantula hawk wasp, the official State Insect of New Mexico (where I live) at 14,000 ft on Blanca Peak. Father's Day June 2020. Did NOT see any tarantulas up there...

Re: Unexpected
There used to me one on top of Wilson Peak.
I think the plane was all carted off but one (at least) of the deceased is/are still up there. As I recall, there were four onboard when the plane hit almost the actual summit.
EDIT: the last of the deceased was found and recovered. https://www.telluridenews.com/news/arti ... d52a8.html

Re: Unexpected
Found some wreckage in upper Thistledown (near Ouray) this weekend. Looks to be from a 1962 crash, though I couldn't find any more details. Satellite imagery shows it there as far back as 1985, so it's at least as old as me.
