TR: Gannett (Sublette/Fremont WY) & Kings (Duchesne UT)

July 2016 was an extremely good month for me, the first time I managed to get two state high points in a single 30-day span. And they weren't some of the easier ones, but the tops of Utah and Wyoming respectively. Both these climbs were done in my role as event leader with Sierra Mountaineering Club, so later I will be submitting detailed trip reports to the club which will be posted online. For the time being, I wanted to share the basics of the outings with this group. If you need more information or have specific questions, please contact me privately.


Kings Peak - 2-4 July


I chose Independence Day weekend for this trip, as did many others. It was a popular weekend to be in the Uintas, and Dollar Lake was hopping with activity. I flew into Salt Lake City on Friday night, picked up a car rental and 3 teammates, then drove to the trailhead and hiked in to Dollar on Saturday. By the time we set up camp and turned in I had been awake for 36+ hours, as my flight was delayed due to weather along the way. No issues in the northern part of the state however. The trail was easy however, and Elkhorn Crossing posed no problem whatsoever, with the log bridge in place. Between Elkhorn and Gunsight Pass the trail was muddy due to runoff from snowmelt, yet this didn't slow down anyone. On Sunday we hiked over Gunsight, crossing a few lingering snowfields near the top, then contoured around Dome Peak and boulder-walked to Anderson Pass. Very easy compared to some Sierra scree slogs. From Anderson we scrambled and boulder-hopped our way to the summit, passing groups going up and coming down. Views were terrific, but the usual afternoon storm was brewing. We got back to our tents before the rain arrived, which was brief and uneventful. The mosquitoes were pretty aggressive both nights we stayed at Dollar, so everyone was relieved to complete the hike out on Monday.

Gannett Peak - 24-28 July

On Saturday I flew into Salt Lake again, picked up the rental and 2 guys, then drove to Pinedale where we met our 4th team member and spent the night at a hotel. I had learned my lesson after Kings and allotted a full day for travel, plus there was a lot more gear to sort and pack. With stuffed 50-lb packs, we started at Elkhart Park on Sunday and managed to get to Seneca Lake, about 10.5 miles in where we set up camp. On Monday we made our way into fabulous Titcomb Basin and set up the expedition base camp on the west side of the stream draining into the highest of the Titcomb Lakes. I was surprised to see how popular these trails were; in the beginning we were running into dayhikers, then overnight or 3-day backpackers, and finally mountaineers. By the time we got past the last lake, there were only a few parties left, and most of these were there with the same purpose: to climb Gannett. For summit day Tuesday, we left camp at 04:00 and groped our way over the vast oceans of talus that cover the bowl below Bonney Pass. The upper part of the slope leading to the pass was covered in hard snow, thus making us take out the crampons and axe for the first of what became a regular pattern of rock-snow, rock-snow, etc. We were up and over the pass in about 2h30min. The view of Gannett from Bonney in the first light of the day is an unforgettable sight. The mountain is enormous and impossibly far. We scrambled down the northern slopes until we reached a high snowfield. This connected to the Dinwoody Glacier below, from where we picked up a good boot track leading to the crossover slope onto the Gooseneck Glacier. The slope was free of snow but full of loose rock and dirt, and thankfully short. From the glacier, we cramponed back onto the ridge, at a higher point, where we took off the traction and scrambled some more until we hit snow again. We crossed the glacier right under the pinnacle, then hung a left and there was the bergschrund. The snow bridge was solid, but two large openings on either side were growing. That snow bridge has only a couple of weeks left, if that. Safely above the bergschrund, we continued up the steep snow until it ran out, then moved onto the ridge and kept heading north towards the peak. At the base of the summit ridge we put on crampons one last time and huffed and puffed our way to the glorious summit, mindful of the significant exposure both on the north and south sides. It had been an absolutely perfect day - don't think it's possible to have any better weather. There was just a slight breeze. We were joined by two other pairs that had come over Bonney with us, and along the way we passed other parties that had summited from the east. In total, I counted 15 people who climbed Gannett that day, myself included. All men, of which two were teens guided by their fathers. We eventually found the register, which unfortunately was soaked beyond any hope with the ink having bled across the wet pages, thus destroying an important historical document. After a food break and the requisite picture taking, we reversed our course and was surprised to see we were making good time. The dreadful ascent back up over Bonney Pass wasn't bad at all, in my opinion, but making the final descent the other side was. The snow remained hard at the top, meaning downclimbing was frustrating and time-consuming. One of our guys slipped and fell out of control, unable to self-arrest after the axe was yanked out of his hand. By some miracle he come to stop using just his hands and feet. After we got him equipped again, we proceeded more carefully, and after what seemed like endless boulder hopping in the bowl, we walked back into camp at 20:00. A 16-hour day which, though we were all spent, was easier than it sounds given the ideal conditions. We rested well that night, then Wednesday had a fairly leisurely hike back to Seneca Lake, where we made our last camp. Not fully recovered from the gigantic effort of summit day and running low on calories, I found each uphill, no matter how small, to be a burden under the still heavy pack, so the last leg of the hike out on Thursday came as a huge relief. Aches, sores and blisters didn't help the cause, but the adrenaline saw us through to the end, where we celebrated with the most amazing barbecue ever at Pitchfork Fondue Western Cookout in Pinedale (highly recommended family business). Managed to get in a full day of sightseeing and hiking in each of Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks afterward, making this an outstanding trip from beginning to end.

Regreening Maryland - Allegany County
Mon Aug 1, 2016 4:19 pm (PDT) . Posted by:
"Robert W Packard" pumprat
Due to county line change, the HP of Allegany County Maryland changed. I returned to Allegany County on July 25, 2016 to reclaim the completion of Maryland.

I'm not 100% satisfied with any of the trip reports I've seen. I am happy with the reports of Ed Wandall and Ben Lostracco in Peakbagger.org COMBINED.

Following both I first climbed what Ed refers to as Sampson Rock and Ben refers to as a 3 rock pillar. I climbed it the same way as Ed. See his report. I would

not have done it without my rope. I have pictures of it. Ben does not mention climbing it. I wish he had because I consider it a strong contender for the COHP

as does ED. I saw no BM in the immediate vicinity of this 4th class rock formation. Ed mentions a 2nd BM 100 feet east of "Sampson Rock", but not a 1st. It is

my claim that what Ed refers to as the 2nd BM is, in fact, the SW of the 2 BM's shown on the maps. I think that this BM, of which I have a picture, is the first BM

mentioned by Ben. It is marked SAMPSON, not SAMPSON ROCK and has on it "Remarked in 1926". It's yellow and beat up as Ben says. Following Ben I found

and took picture of the BM (the 2nd one mentioned by Ben) to the NE marked SAMPSON and 1927. This would be the NE of the 2 BM's shown on the maps

referred to as Sampson Rock with elevation 2934. I also found and took picture of the reference marker for this BM 6 yards away mentioned by Ben. Ed does

not mentions this BM and reference. Of the 3 places, 4th class pillar, BM to the east (SW one on the maps), BM to the NE, I give the nod to the pillar. However,

I can't be sure because although I had my hand level it was useless because of all the trees and other vegetation. I could not see any of these 3 places from any

other. It is VERY difficult moving around in this contour area because of the vegetation, especially the rhodies, and the cliffs and boulders and ledges.

I also visited the areas about 2 miles to the SW. No complaints about the reports on these. I still give the nod to the pillar with the 2 BM's next

likely and the SW contours least likely.

I'd encourage any comments I can generate from this report.

Bob Packard, glad to be back at 29 completed states. I also had to regreen Oklahoma a while back, being down to 27 completed states before that.

Northeast Colorado - Current Access Contacts
Mon Aug 1, 2016 5:26 pm (PDT) . Posted by:
jlhcpa
Does anyone have the most current contact information for the landowners in northeast Colorado whose permission is needed before a visit? I plan to travel through that part of the state after the Konvention, so any steering in the proper direction would be appreciated. Colorado counties currently on the trip plan are:

Morgan
Logan
Sedgwick
Phillips
Yuma
Washington
Elbert
Arapahoe
Adams
Broomfield
Denver
Lake
Teller
El Paso
Lincoln
Kiowa

Feel free to send a private email if posting this info publicly is too sensitive. My agenda is already pretty full; but have I missed any of the obvious "easier" lowland counties?

Thanks.

Adams, Arapahoe, and Broomfield are more or less drive ups. I did Cheyenne and Crowley this summer as well; in both cases the phone numbers listed in the Covill/Mitchler book are still good, but at Crowley the Schuberts are no longer the owners. The new owner is carrying on the tradition of being highpoint friendly.

Here is the Sedgewick contact info. Adam had been keeping tabs on this and this is who I got the info from. So now that he's gone we might need a holder of the access codes for lack of a better term.

Landowner's name is Dan Firme, numbers are 970-774-6767 (home) and 970-520-0949 (cell)
