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 In this digital age, websites and software soon become outdated.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.
UN 13,820 - Lidar, (formerly 13,811) along with UN 13,838 are two Top 100 summits that are often overlooked by climbers who are more interested in the nearby 14ers, Sunshine and Redcloud. Both 13,838 & 13,820 are easy Class 2 summits. The route covers a lot of high tundra with only minor rock, talus, or rubble to deal with. The Silver Creek Trailhead out of Lake City can be reached by many passenger vehicles, carefully driven, but something with a little higher clearance is preferable.
