Maroon Bells traverse 7/16


Thursday morning my good friend Alyss and I headed up to attempt the Maroon Bells at 2am! If it wasn't for running into a friend who is a guide we would have only summited south Maroon Peak, because of the time it takes to find the route on this sketchy traverse. 

As Gerry Roach says, "maroon peak is only 650 yards away as the eagle soars, but you are not an eagle" This weekend we completed one the most exciting lines in Colorado.

















Once we got to North Maroon peak I busted out a 10 minute painting before right before the hail/rain and we booked it down as the weather cleared up.
