Way to get it Dave and crew! Looks like you couldn’t have better conditions

Hey Dave,
Great report and way to get after it. I remember asking you about this peak in BCE and hearing about the previous, failed attempts so congrats on getting this Cross off your shoulders!
Depending on conditions and partner timing, I might be making a similar attempt in the near future.
I called NOVA and the guy told me they will be moving their supplies to Camp Hale this weekend but he could leave a sled up there if we were interested in him towing our gear.
I think we have the sled situation worked out on our own so I’m curious if you know any more about when FS closes down Tigiwon? I looked on FS website and couldn’t find any info and the NOVA guy made it sound like THEY had rights to be up there as long as they need but I don’t know if that applies to us.
Thanks for any info, you can send it to my email or I’ll check back here.
Thanks,
Ryan

Dave, I accidentally posted on the Clear Creek thread instead of here. Please have a look.

Great post. That is using the full day. The photos did a good job of giving a feel for the trips adventure.

Excellent job. That’s a big day, but w/o overnight packs and being able to skin, it is the way to go. The conditions looked to be perfect, along with the weather. Fantastic!
