Maroon Bells w/ Traverse July 23, Pyramid July 24

Post by V1per41 »

I have camping reservations at Crater Lake for the nights of Monday July 22 and Tuesday July 23. My current plan is to arrive Monday evening, climb the Bells Tuesday and Pyramid on Wednesday before catching the shuttle out from Maroon lake and driving back to Denver.

My normal climbing partner re-ruptured his Achilles this week and can't join me. With the current weather forecast looking pretty promising I don't want the reservation to go to waste.

I have a lot of experience on 14ers and with backpacking. I'm a strong and quick hiker though my experience on more technical terrain is a little thin with my only class 3+ summits being Kit Carson, Ice Mountain, and Capitol.

I'm looking for anyone who wants to tackle this with me, ideally someone with a bit more experience than I currently have, but anyone who's feeling confident and up to it is good with me!

So who's up for an adventure?
