Ascent Trip Reportan excellent fine hike/scramble but with a lot of traffic. St Mary's glacier is crazy crowded. Fortunately, few climb this fine small peak near St Mary lake and it has great views of the "glacier" surrounding area, and the the lake below. Best of all fine scrambling opportunities from class 2+ though 4 but all of the rock is stable, chunky, and makes for nice ledges of hand-holds and footholds. If you want, you can select a nice line of classic class 3 non-exposed safe for kids, or slide around and get some exposure and harder material class 3+
About 15 minute drive up the hill from Idaho Springs and $5 to park. Plenty of trails to play on in the area. |
