Last Monday, Dave, Dave and Charlie headed up over 4,000 feet to Wilson Peak at 14,017. The newly opened trail is a mere 4.5 miles each way but it's still not to be taken lightly. The top is crazy loose rocks and the boys were sure to pack helmets for the trek as the local newspaper has revealed a number of accidents on this iconic Telluride Peak. They also had purchased their search and rescue cards in case of emergency as there's been a few very expensive helicopter evacuations this year.

Falls Wall
This morning we loaded up the 4Runner and dropped Dave off to meet friends for a climb at Falls Wall. The dogs and I hiked partway in with him but quit at the stream crossing. We had a busy day of porch time and gluten free baking to get on with.
Dave crossed the steam and hiked steeply uphill to where Conrad and Aaron were already climbing. The wall is at the end of Telluride's Box Canyon and features views of Bridal Veil and Ingram Falls in addition to Ajax Peak.
They had a big day of climbing and enjoyed the sunny weather. We're hoping Telluride's monsoon season is coming to a close but there's no guarantee of that.
