South San Juan Backpack

We will leave Friday morning and drive past Platoro to the Adams Fork of the Conejos trailhead (~4 hours).  We will hike 4 miles up the Adams Fork of the Conejos to timberline on Friday afternoon and camp.  Saturday will be a day hike up Summit Peak (~6 miles round-trip).  Sunday we will hike back down to our cars and drive home.  Should be home by 6 pm on Sunday.

We have checked out the trail - and it is passable - some mud, and a few snow banks to cross - but, otherwise - AOK.

This is a day for the beginner and intermediate climbers to climb together using club ropes. 

To give new graduates of the Climbing School an opportunity to get out on the rock with local climbers, we will bring club ropes to set climbs at Gallows Edge.  The ropes will then be available to everyone to climb on.  That way, new climbers or other community members who don't have a rope can join in the fun. 

If you do not have a climbing partner, no problem!  We will all help each other.

Summer visitors are welcome!  Some old hands could be really helpful, too.  
 
In brief, this is a hike along the trail paralleling the east fork of the
Jemez river, then diverging from the trail and splashing down the river that
is in some respects a shallow box canyon.  At a pre-determined point we will
depart the river and return by the trail paralleling at some distance. This
year Zack will be leading from the front (no one can outrun Zack) and Kei will
be leading from the rear, that is to say, proceeding at an enjoyable pace and

Let's go Canyoneering.

If you are not known to the trip host, you need to convince him that you are comfortable single-strand rappelling, without assistance, up to 50' and capable of down climbing some class 4'ish rocky areas.

The chosen canyon and meeting location will be revealed to those who will go on the trip. You will get wet, at least up to your waist. Wetsuits are not required, but the water will be cold. However, we won't ever be in it very long. A set of pictures and videos will be shared with you so that you can see what the area is like.

This will be an exploratory trip into the badland country west of Ojo Caliente spa and south of Cerro Colorado. The destination is unknown to me, but it looks interesting from the highway and on satellite photos, and other explorations to the Ojo country have been rewarding. I expect that we will be out hiking for 6 hours or a bit more. Be prepared for cross country trailless hiking, bringing water, sunscreen and sunhats. Although the weather looks promisingly pleasant, please we ready for all reasonable eventualities of wet or cold. Bring a lunch.
