By: supranihilestInfo: Note: we did not summit. The road is easy enough to hike, even from the bottom. The Uncompahgre trail is then easy to follow, and we turned off heading south at an arbitrary point and crossed a couple of boulderfields and some lumpy tundra bumps. There was tons of snow up to knee deep, all of it super sugary and unconsolidated and just awful to walk through. Ultimately we turned around before summiting and went for Point 13,106, which was much drier. Wear boots if you go for this peak.
