Summit Success!
Clear Creek Route: Trailhead 6,400 ft. 1st day hiked to base camp at 8,700 ft. 2nd day hiked to the summit at 14,126 ft and back down to base camp. 3rd day hiked out and drove home. Crazy steep slopes covered in loose scree and talus. One step forward, half a step back. Winds constant 20-50 mph with gusts up to 70 mph! On the 2nd day started at 4:15 am, summitted 10 hours later and made it back to base camp 5 hours after that. Intense and epic adventure!
