Blanca Peak beat me up and took my lunch money back in early June of 2006. I was a teenager climbing solo, traveling light, aiming to do it as a day hike. I summited in the mid-afternoon, but then descended into the wrong basin and took an embarrassingly long time to figure it out. After three days and two nights, I stumbled out of there and bummed a ride over close to where my car was parked. I had gone a few days without food, but the Wendy's drive-through was the only place that was still open after I got back to my hotel. I bought a ton of food but found I couldn't eat very much at a time. So I went back to the hotel and spent the night in this weird cycle of sleeping an hour or two, eating what I could, sleeping another hour or so, eating more, etc. Certainly an adventure

I'm glad that you had fun! To add, my late mother's ashes are spread out at Plug Hat Butte, she absolutely loved that part of the area.

I was in the area just a week ago. There is a LOT of snow on Blanca this year. It won't be close to gone in the couple of weeks until you plan to go. Unless you're prepared for a full on winter conditions ascent, with snowshoes, crampons and ice axe, you probably will need to wait until mid May or possibly even June.

@@SuperdutyExplorerGood to know. I thought I'd mention it, as a lot of people from out of state don't realize how late the snow can stick around in Colorado, and come in April or May expecting summer conditions. Also, the Sangre de Cristos often don''t get as much snow as the mountains farther west, but there was a big storm in March that really dumped on the east side of the divide.

I learned to fly fish on the Frying Pan with Ralph Coffman on Ralph’s section of the river next to his cabin in 1967. The Rudi dam was finished in 1968 and the “Pan” has become one of the greatest tail-waters in the world. The trout get very large by feeding on Mysis Shrimp that come out of the dam. Mysis patterns are available at the fly shops along with very small Baetis mayfly nymph patterns. Good luck to you next time! Jerry H
