Route: From \"Huerfano\", to Lindsey Posted On: 2020-07-07, By: supranihilestInfo: The ascent of Iron Nipple from "Huerfano" is awesome. Ample Class 2+ on solid and sticky rock, it's much nicer than it looks from below. Route finding is almost non-existent. There's a short Class 2+/Easy Class 3 knife edge just before the summit that's pretty exposed but easy and solid.
To descend to the saddle with Lindsey go back across the knife edge and then down the south ridge/southwest slopes. There's some loose rock in this area but nothing awful. Go in between the two towers, and near the bottom make a zigzagging descent down a couple of short slabs and ledges to the red/dark colored rock. From there simply walk over to the saddle with Lindsey and either ascend Lindsey or descend back to the trailhead. |

Route: South Ridge Posted On: 2020-06-03, By: LetsGoMetsInfo: Normal trail up to Lindsey saddle is mostly summer once you get up to the basin, but there is enough blow down and snow patches in the lower areas to want to be familiar with the route if you are heading up in the dark.
Water crossing about 1 mile in is a wade across currently. |
