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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.
Peaks 9 & 10 above the Breckenridge Ski Area in the Tenmile Range offer easy Class 2 hiking that could make an easy family hike, depending on the vehicle you have to access this area. A 4WD with good clearance can make it all the way to about 12,400 feet where both summits can be knocked off readily in just a couple hours. Passenger vehicles with above average clearance can drive as far as the Peak 9 restaurant at 11,250 where your vehicle can be parked and walking can begin from there. This will add significant mileage and more elevation gain, but the two peaks could still be done as a half day hike that's mostly on high tundra terrain. The most difficult aspect of this hike will be locating FR 751, which is a little tricky to find. Lidar increased elevation by 12 feet.
