Excellent page with lots of good information. It is a true shame that this peak is owned by someone and has closed access. The good news is that you can get on a CMC climb eventually, and the owners might someday change their minds (or the ranch change hands). I am supposed to be leading one of the CMC trips for 2003, I will hopefully get some more good photos to post to your site!
Hope so! I usually do stuff with the Denver group, occasionally Boulder. I am going to lead (and go on) some spring peak skis the year. I hope the snowpack is good enough that we have a spring ski season!
big g, thanks for the vote. There is more to the CMC than just Culebra. I had the same attitude as you untill I joined the CMC a couple of years ago (due to I won a spot for Culebra). It's an excellent organization, and I've had the pleasure of meeting many fellow hikers through them.
What a great page on the saddest mountain in Colorado. Your well researched and well written history is riviting if disturbing. May no other mountain suffer the fate of Culebra. Thank you sir.
