Donations Needed

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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.

Directions

From the town of Silverton, drive east to the edge of town and one block past the courthouse, where the paved road splits, go straight. Then, drive north on Road 110, (or 10 according to some sources), a graded dirt road, all the way to the old townsite of Gladstone. Note that another fork of this road 110 goes up along the Animas River from out of Silverton if using the Trails Illustrated map #141. The road along the Animas is signed with a blue sign that reads County Road 2. Do not take that fork. At the intersection around Gladstone, head SE a brief distance, follow a switchback up a very short hill, then turn south immediately on road 52 that climbs into the upper South Fork of Cement Creek where it terminates just below a small, unnamed lake. Park here. The last two miles on road 52 will be rougher. A higher clearance vehicle is recommended.


Camping

You can car-camp overnight at or around the trailhead or at a few other possible spots on the last two miles in above Gladstone. Be careful regarding private property.
