Pictures are excellent and depict the CONDITIONS very well, including hostile marmots. Yikes! I have a Pathfinder and I'm headed up there, so I'm wondering what to do to fend off an attack. Text is concise and full of the needed info. Thanks for this outstanding addition to SP.
Thanks for adding this deserving peak to SP. Good page, good photos.
Check this out.
"Those approaching from the Castle Creek TH pass Conundrum Hot Springs along the way. Fron the saddle it is a very short climb to the summit."
If I'm not mistaken, is there some missing route beta concerning the climb from the hotsprings to the saddle? Having spent some time in Conundrum Valley/Hot Springs I remember a steep talus laden slope that ascends to the saddle. It looked a bit loose as well, and maybe a good 1500-2000-ft of climbing. It did not look fun at all.
Have you ever been to the hotsprings? I was very unimpressed. To hike 16 miles RT to visit warm pools of slime, seemed a waste of time. These pools of crud are not "hot" they are luke warm, if that.
