Legal Access for Bross
My 11-year-old son has set a goal of climbing 11 Ranked 14ers before he turns 12. We backpacked Mt. of the Holy Cross a few weekends ago for #8. If we could add Bross to the DeCaLiBron loop his goal would be accomplished, but I definitely want to encourage him to respect private property and legal access issues. I know people going for FKT’s have contacted the owner(s) and received permission, so I’m wondering if there’s a way I could request permission for my son and I. Thank you so much!

Re: Legal Access for Bross
Permission is hard because of fractured ownership, so I'm not sure if (m)any FKTers have asked/gotten permission. You may be thinking of one of Andrew/Andrea's projects where the other three mountains in the group were closed and they get explicit permission from one owner, a little bit before they set up the waiver system.
Good luck to your son in his goals!

When is his birthday? You guys should do the Decalibron loop less Bross and then go for Long's on a different day. Long's is amazing.

Re: Legal Access for Bross
Another option would be to backpack from the Missouri Gulch trailhead. There are campsites past a dilapidated cabin at 11,300' (just below timberline). Then climb Missouri Mtn. the next day and then do Belford and Oxford the day after that.
BTW, I climbed Longs Peak the month after my 11th birthday. If I can get myself up Longs Peak as an 11-year old, your son likely can as well.
