Route Climbed: Guenella Pass Date Climbed: January 19, 2004
Great day, if not a little cold. But hey, it IS winter. Snow was almost not present. The dreaded willows of the pass did not catch us as we crossed the snow. This was a very cool climb. The ridges are fun, but watch out for the false summits. I will not tell you how many there are!
Route Climbed: The two south ridges from Guanella Pass Date Climbed: September 1, 2001 and October 13, 2002
Squaretop might be the most enjoyable mountain of the Guanella Pass group... for it allows you to stare at the Sawtooth Ridge to the north the whole climb up. It also sees a paltry fraction of the traffic headed towards Bierstadt. Both Raymond and Sopris accompanied me on both climbs.

We had the mountain all to ourselves. Saw a beautiful herd of 8 mountain goats who ran across snow fields and talus like it was flat ground. An inspiration. Have always wanted to climb this mountain as I have looked at it from Bierstadt over the years.

Route Climbed: Northeast ridge from Guanella PassSurprisingly nice day for this summit hike. Not a lot of snow but it was pretty cold. Time for beefier gloves for me.
An enjoyable and safe winter outting.
