Twining Peak only  Sucess!

An early mountain I walked up even before I knew I had to climb mountains. No problem even for a neophyte. If you are at Independence Pass, just take an hour to wander over to this summit.

From Independence Pass  Sucess!

A moderately cloudy day but the clouds were puffy and the sun poked through every once in awhile. Easy hike up the snow free ridge and then a nice run down the west slopes on firm snow and was able to get back to my car right before it started raining. Feet got really wet in the swamps though!

Indy Pass  Sucess!

On week-long trip to Sawatch with wife. Given forecast, we wanted a quicker one - so I tagged Pt 13,500 and Twining, and she just tagged Pt 13,500. (Haven't done Pt 13,545 yet.)

South Ridge (Indy Pass)  Sucess!

Again, in succession with Point 13,500 AFTER a loop of Igloo, Mountain Boy & Point 12,569 to the south. Long day but at least the weather held.

Indy Pass  Sucess!

PT 13500 and Twining via Independence Pass. Not only is the pass still open (11/4/12), but these peaks are essentially bone dry. You could probably climb both without ever stepping on snow, but the most direct route will have you pass over a few strips of 2" deep here and there.

From Independence Pass  Sucess!

Hiked up from the pass to Point 13500 then north to Twining (both summits). Admired the headwaters of the Roaring Fork and surrounding mountains. 25mph winds. Cut back straight to the pass from the col.

Route Climbed: Via Independence Pass  Sucess!

My friend was supposed to accompany me, but witnessing a death on the Maroon Bells the day before had him ready to head back to Denver, don't blame him!
