Bobtail BM  Sucess!

October 14 2024: After work and not long before sunset, I climbed Bobtail Peak (elevation 12,809'). It was much more windy and colder than it has been so I didn't stick around for sunset. There were a lot of clouds to the west as well.

October 9 2024: On my way to a doctor appointment I stopped to do a quick climb of Bobtail BM.

October 2 2024: After work I climbed Bobtail Peak. It was a nice hike, but windy. Without much snow the peaks are looking pretty barren since the tundra has lost its greenery. It needs to snow.

September 19 2024: After work I climbed Bobtail Peak after work and just before sunset. Although I bundled up, it felt much warmer than yesterday since the winds were lighter. I don't think I've ever seen the mountains around here so bare of snow. It was a hot summer.

August 11 2024: Kim and I hiked up Bobtail BM (Peak). We didn't go farther since it was cloudy. Bobtail is a pretty easy peak for its elevation, but it has great views. It was also our 31st anniversary today! We had a snowball fight at the trailhead.

July 14 2023: After work I climbed Bobtail BM. The road to Jones Pass is still closed, so I climbed from the basin below. Unfortunately I didn't bring an ice axe and getting up the cornice was dicey in Hokas, but I found an alternate way down.

Jones Pass  Sucess!

With Jamie, up the Jones Pass road then the south ridge. Continued on the CDT until the base of "soft ranked" PT 12316 and then down. Found an old road/trail in the the trees back to the Jones Pass Road.

Hiked Jones Pass Road  Sucess!

Started hiking from the parking lot near Henderson mine. Many vehicles at Jones Pass, I was the only one to hike Bobtail BM. Had the summit to myself. Headed down the steep slopes on the other side of the peak.

From Jones Pass Rd. via Pt 12673  Sucess!

The day was cold, but clear. (Better than the following day, which was miserable...) We had a large team of a dozen of us and each made the summit. The views from the Divide are just non-stop up here. The winds were tolerable, by Continental Divide standards.
