Up Spanish Creek (with permission of Crestone Mtn Zen Center) over Obstruction and then to Columbia Point. A couple snow patches that could be avoided on CP, which provided refreshing water on the descent. Mosquitoes truly cataclysmic-like one of the plagues endured by Egypt in the time of Moses-even with multiple applicants of big spray, just a continuous bombardment throughout the entire basin. The only relief was at the saddle. Trail dicey with tree fall- ended up on a different trail down than the one taken up.
