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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.
Mount Marcy is the final peak stop on our proposed four-summit day, but it doesn't have to end there. We hiked the ridge from Gibbs to Marcy and then returned to our camp in the upper part of South Brush Creek. But there are several other ways these peaks can be completed and several other peaks could be included such as Cotton King, Silver and Spread Eagle. See our separate write-ups for them. As for the Gibbs to Marcy hike, the 1.5 mile traverse is no more than Class 2 with one rockier section around Pt. 13,335. Use Gibbs Peak as the "access" for Marcy in this description. For trailhead access, on the east side of the range, use either the Ducket Creek TH or the Gibson Creek TH, both of which will utilize the Rainbow Trail to reach South Brush Creek. From the west side of the range, use the Cotton Creek TH. Lidar measurements have added 14 feet to this summit.
