Attention site users: A big thanks to all who have recently donated toward our much needed site upgrades. We are nearing our goal. We are now in the process of locating someone/a company proficient in "Craft CMS" to complete the needed upgrades to keep this site secure, up and running. We are finding that changing to another host will be quite a bit more expensive than what we were paying, so if you have not donated yet but have considered doing so, we could still make good use of additional contributions. Use the “Donate” button now and make a secure donation via SquareUp. 85% of our recent contributors have been "first-timers." Thank you!
LIDAR technology has demoted this summit from "ranked" status, (prominence of 276 ft.) however, UN13,509 combines easily with Trico Peak, T.10 and Telluride Peak (which is now ranked) from Black Bear Pass. UN13,509 by itself is an easy Class 2. Though UN13,509 can be reached by the ridge connecting Trico and UN13,509, a section of that ridge north of the Trico summit goes at a solid 3rd class with some exposure. To keep this climb at Class 2 level, a little extra driving in a 4WD vehicle helps.
