Climbed Lackawanna on Sunday with Tom and Frank. Thanks to Frank, for taking and sharing these pictures!

Parked car half in the road at (39 deg 04 min 27 sec N) and (106 deg 31 min 25 sec W). There was no convenient pullout. We left there and created a trench until we ran into an older trench (maybe from doggler) after about 600 feet of climbing. It was a veritable highway and we were all thankful!

At 11,747 ft (39 deg 04 min 49 sec N) and (106 deg 31 min 03 sec N), we took off the snowshoes. What a relief! Also, if I remember right, from this spot, there is a rocky bluff to the north east (climbers right)...if you like scrambling, that's your place! Otherwise stay to the left (west side) of that crag.

The rest of the way up, there was virtually no snow. What patches of snow there were, we could easily bypass.
