We will go up the West Slopes, approaching from the Leadville side. This will be a more moderate pace than on other 14er hikes I am leading.

Iowa Gulch Trailhead, 7:00a. I'll be staying in Leadville the night before.

If there is interest, I will help coordinate a 5:00a meet up for those coming from the Denver area.
