Ascent of Mount Democrat on 2010-09-21| Others in Party: | Jeff | | Date: | Tuesday, September 21, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Mount Democrat | | Location: | USA-Colorado | | Elevation: | 14148 ft / 4312 m |
Ascent Trip ReportStarted out at Kite Lake TH - 12,000 ft! Loop up Democrat over to Cameron and Lincoln and across to Bross was supposed to be 7 miles and 3,500 ft of elevation - but was way tougher! Extra switchbacks added distance and very tough rocky steep trail on the way down added difficulty. Was tough climb - altitude did not get any easier even after a week! Lincoln was particularly cool - looked like the moon. Lots of old abandoned mine shafts. Public access to Bross was closed but we got the summit.
