Fun climb and group
I was lucky enough to get into a group climb organized by KBeverly. We started at the same place as ChicagoTransplant, but the back-end of the loop was similar to furthermore's. Many of us wanted to go for 12,754, but we were being hailed on as we got to the saddle. Only one tried it (KBaker), but he got turned around by weather just shy of the true summit.
From 11,600 ft along Alamosito Creek. A much more enjoyable climb than expected in a seldom visited area. UN 12754 was the most intersting of the four peaks.
Climbed Vermejo, Purgatoire, "Alamosito" and PT 12754 with Sarah, Dominic, Pete and Ryan. Also met Tim, Brian, Jim and Mike on this climb who climbed just the 13ers. Great loop, more enjoyable than Culebra and Red, and at $150 for four mountains more of a bargain too, haha!
