Alpine Ice on Pyramid & Capitol Peak

In the spirit of the fall season, I’ve added some info to the Beta section of the site about alpine ice lines on Pyramid and Capitol. The info I have was taken from old Climbing magazines and second hand reports, so drop me a line if you have anything you’d like to add.

Looks like another storm is coming through this weekend…

Fire & Ice

I’m off to the desert for a bachelor party weekend, looks a little warm but should be a good time. Going to the Creek and hopefully ride the Slickrock trail on Sunday, which I’ve never done. If you are going to be in Colorado this weekend, I’d say there’s a good chance the right Laundry Chute on Sopris has ice in it. You can easily scope it from the Crown with a good pair on binoculars. It’s a fun alpine outing, with about 200 feet of ice, followed by some easy snow and rock climbing which spits you out several feet from the summit. If you go let me know how it is. More info about the route is available here.
