Description
This is a fun, little romp up a streambed 1/2 miles west of Silverplume's parking area. It is obvious from road. Park just past a driveway in a pullout. Boulder hop the river. Cross I-70 carefully. Wander up to the ice through intermittently denser vegetation.
P1. Climb 3 short WI2 steps to a flatter section. You can walk to next steeper bit.
P2. WI2 right or WI3- left. It can be thin. This gets wet in the sun. Pick a cold day.
Walk off 200-300 yards left to an obvious gully. Follow animal tracks down. It is 30-35 minutes back to car from the top. This is more exploring than technical.
