Another shot....
It starts to get fun here. The rocks are real loose and covered with dust.
I just installed the winch. Wasn't worried about the H2 getting stuck. I had originally planned to do this trip with 3 Jeeps but they cancelled out at the last moment.

We got out to walk up the last little ways....
We had to leave the H2 at about 15,000 ft. I could have gone up a little further but the road (Ha! Ha!) quit on us and since we were out of AAA's service area we decided not to take any chances.
At this point we were still looking for some snow.
More to come.........

Looks like Clint Eastwood should be riding across the photo there....

Funny, the last time we went up there it was foggy. My Son put a waypoint in the GPS and named it Mars.
Imagine being here with fog and about 20' visibility. It really is another world up there.
More pics to come.

This is our destination for today's trip......
This is a small stone building called the Albergue. It is at 15,500'.
Here, the serious climbers come to rest and to get used to the the altitude prior to ascending to the summit.
This is as far up as we go since we have no guide or specialized equipment to continue.
Like Clint Eastwood always says: "A man has got to know his limitations." ;-)
