Lost ice ax on Castle Peak
Hey everyone, I did castle peak yesterday 5/26 and was too tired on the way down, didn’t secure my ice axe correctly, and it fell off in montezuma basin. I was riding a higher line in there on the castle side of the valley. If anyone finds it i would love it back, first time using it, black diamond with the leash, didn’t have my name on it. Thanks!!! Happy exploring

I will keep an eye if I go this weekend. How were the conditions across Castle and Conundrum? Did you glissade back down?

Re: Lost ice ax on Castle Peak
I'm going to climb Castle and Conundrum on Sunday, so I can also pick it up if I find it.

Re: Lost ice ax on Castle Peak
Amazing thanks! Conditions were great for spring. My friends and I were touring so I splitboarded out. It was HOT and melting quickly on the road.

Re: Lost ice ax on Castle Peak
I climbed both mountains yesterday, the 28th. On the way out, a group of 4 people stopped me and asked if I was missing an ice axe, because another person in their group (who was out skiing somewhere in the basin) found one. I said no, I wasn't missing anything, but someone had posted about a missing axe. One of the people I talked to said "what's 14ers.com?" when I mentioned the post.... So, someone apparently found it, but contacting them could be tricky.
