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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.
UN13,255 (Formerly UN 13244) is located on a ridge that connects to the top of the "Big Burn" area of the Snowmass Ski Area. Nevertheless, our suggested weekend, overnight backpack approach up East Snowmass Creek offers a chance to visit a less frequented area and climb at least two 13ers. If you have time, two more 13ers lie at the head of this valley. The Snowmass Creek TH is start for this hike and is accessible by most passenger cars. The climb of UN13,255 is a steep Class 2 followed by easy Class 1. Lidar added 11 feet of elevation.
