There is top-roping and sport climbing in different skill classes. All competitors win a prize, and get a T-shirt and dinner. This trip will be similar to last fall's horsepack into Death Hollow, but I will try to arrange a pack into the lower part of the Hollow via the Escalante River. Fall colors along the river trail should be spectacular. As usual, our goal is spectacular slickrock country via day hikes from our packed-in base camp.
Reservations are difficult to come by for such a trip, so book early.
The entire hut is reserved, and it holds 16 people. This hut provide a well equipped kitchen so all you have to haul in is food, booze, and our personal gear. The trailhead is close to Leadville. The general plan will be to drive up to Leadville on Sunday and spend the night there in a nice hotel. Ski in to the hut on Monday morning.
