Attention site users: Climb13ers stands at a critical juncture and needs your help. In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated. We need to make some immediate, costly upgrades to this site to keep it running smoothly and without interruptions to service. Neither my wife or I have the necessary skills to do this on our own, thus, we must hire skilled people to maintain the site for us. That is why we solicit your donations. As of now, we are anticipating up to $5,000 in additional costs to make these upgrades. We invite and encourage all users, but especially those who have never donated before to please consider making a donation now. To the less than 1 percent of users who have supported this site, we thank you for your faithful giving. Please encourage other users you may know to do likewise. Just 200 users giving only $25 each would meet this goal. Please be one of those 200. Use the “Donate” button now and make a secure donation via SquareUp.
The summit of Fletcher Mountain can be gained from either its' SW ridge or its' SE ridge (that connects over to Quandary Pk.) by Class 2 rubbly routes, when approached from a narrow basin that heads NW from the upper Blue Lake on Monte Cristo Creek. Summit County Road 850 is the access to the trailhead and is usually passable to passenger vehicles. By itself, this can be a fairly short day-hike. Combined with Drift Peak, it can become a much more challenging day.
