El Diente Wilson Traverse: You Found My Hat!

Post by Luther Longbow »

Did the El Diente -Wilson Peak Traverse with ssides (great climbing partner) on Wednesday 9/22…My last two 14ers - 45 years since my first attempt on Crestone Peak…Thanksgiving 1976. 9 inches of snow … never even made Willow Lake… The stupidity and hubris of youth!

BUT back on topic ….I lost my favorite Ride the Rockies ball cap on the descent off of El Diente onto the traverse…My very favorite cap. Some kind soul (Chris from Alma?) Found it and left it for me to retrieve at the Kilpacker trail head…So thanks to Chris (or whoever it was)… Made my whole trip. Finishing all the 14ers is great…But an undeserved and unexpected random act of kindness… Now that’s special… especially in the current times… Thanks!
