Thanks everyone! Teller was a fun county to work on. As Kevin mentioned there is quite a variety of different peaks and many interesting challenges. With only 54 peaks it's a pretty reasonable list compared with something like Larimer or Park county. When it became apparent that John and I were both within one day of finishing we decided to team up even though it involved some repeats on my part and even splitting up for part of the day. It was the right thing to do as we worked on much of the county together anyway. Thus we got to share the completion date. My condolences to Doug and Susan, we beat you to it.
You'll finish soon enough and join the three of us. Getting McReynolds done this summer and having a snowless autumn really sped up our progress.
Here was the order on Saturday, otherwise known as cleanup day. Sorry we missed you Paul and Kate!
Cedar Mtn - repeat for me. Nice peak though, I first climbed it a couple years ago after Big Rock Candy.
Hackett- another repeat for me. John needed these two stragglers for his completion.
9514 - Repeat for both. It was there and too tempting to pass up. Bonus climb of Truman Rock.
Crystal Benchmark - OK, in the interest of time we cheated a little and drove the PP Highway. But we still got 1500' of gain in 4 miles from Crystal Reservoir using the north slopes. Some serious bushwhacking in there, wouldn't recommend it. But we got it done in two hours.
Dome Rock and 9112 - Since I did these with Brian a couple weeks ago we split up here. John did these and finished on Dome Rock while I went on to:
Booger Red Hill and Beasley Hills (my last peak) - Nice grassy peaks with good views.
UN9270 (Park County) - Still had daylight so I picked up a new one with a repeat for John. I'm up to 160/230 in Park County now, another project.
Twin Rocks - Interesting unranked 5th class formation off of Twin Rocks Road. A boost from John got me up the short first section (mid 5th class?) and then it's a low 5th class scramble to the top. We had no rope. Fun but exposed! Thought I had an LoJ 1st ascent but I see Stewart Green has already climbed it. John didn't like what he saw and passed on the climb after getting up part of it.
