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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.
UN13,063, aka: Grand Traverse Peak, is an easy Class 2 hike but with a fairly long trail approach in the Gore Range on the Deluge Lake Trail. The often-times crowded trailhead is accessible to any passenger vehicle. Grand Traverse combines easily with Mt. Valhalla (UN13,180) and Snow Peak (UN13,039). If climbing all three, you may want to consider a backpack trip to this scenic location as our description provides. We also include a side trip to Willow BM/Mt. Silverthorne as part of this 3-day excursion. Lidar re-evaluation has added 22 feet of elevation to this summit bumping it up into the Top 600 summits list. Previous elevation was 13,041. New elevation is 13,063 ft.
