If you need to stand/sit/reach the highest point to truly summit, is "Phoenix Peak" outside of Creede 3rd class?
Oops, very sideways but don't know how to fix.

If you aren’t thirsty, you brought too much water.
If you aren’t hungry, you brought too much food.
If you aren’t scared, you brought too much gear.
If you made it to the top, it was too easy anyway.

Is there an option for “no, because you can knock the cairn over”?

Excellent scrambling I never trust summit cairns not to tip over. That one is well built but still could cause significant injury if you tumbled off. SAR would be scratching their heads when they got a call for a helicopter rescue on Phoenix.

Re: Phoenix Peak 3rd class top-out
Finding it on a day when it is horizontal and the earths gravity is off is the real challenge.
