"The Electrode"

11/18/2009:

Access from Fort Collins, CO:

US-287 North

CO-14 West to Lake Agnes Parking area 2.4 miles west of Cameron Pass

Drive Time: ~1.5h

Evan Blumberg & I skinned up to Michigan Lakes, then up to the base of "The Electrode". We were hoping to climb and ski the north face, but snow stability forced us to gain the east ridge, which we followed to the summit. We returned our ascent route finding very dry, fast powder and even some surface hoar down lower.

Elevation: ~2300'

Distance: ~12 miles

Time: 3:58
