If you have 2850 dollars to drop...you to can legally climb 3 12,000 footers (and an 11)!

At least they recognize now that they sit on some 12,000 foot peaks. I was going to ask them if they had any guides that would be willing to do all the peaks (there are more than 4) in two days. That 2850 is a bit steep, but maybe 1000 ish might be more reasonable...still a lot of money for some peaks.

Anyway, having read Mr. Robinson's trip report on his excursion two summers ago...I thought I'd let you all know.

PS Sorry if this is old news, but I don't remember seeing this program on the website last fall when I was trying to find a way to climb these peaks legally.

Wow, those are some steep prices! Hopefully they include some cheaper versions for self-guided trips in the future. Otherwise, full moon it is!!! :shh:

Man, Cielo Vista only charged us $200 for (5) 13ers and (2) 12ers as a day trip, and they shuttled our cars for us! I hope the $2850 Ted has his personal chef cater all of your meals and offers to pick you up at your house on his private jet :-D

What makes this humorous to me (beyond the rest day needed between hikes of less than 6 miles RT per day) is the fact that you can access two of the four peaks for free as they are on NF land :roll: !
