Map of legal SE
gullt route. Start at
the equestrian park
where Cheyenne
becomes Cliff
Shadows |
The route heads
S on a nice firm
bike path that is inside
the BLM land. It's a bit
obnoxious going by the
houses being built, at first |
But soon the path
heads into the old
"Little Red Rock"
valley |
Eventually one leaves
the bike path and heads
NNW up a major wash. |
At this point one
can either go L
(The cliff bands yield
a class 2 route) or R |
I went L until before
the cliff, where I
headed up class 2 to
the summit ridge. |
I could have waited
longer to break through
the cliff bands. |
Mummy in distance,
with light snow. |
L to R: El Padre,
La Madre, Fernande,
E La Madre |
Griffith in distance,
with light snow |
Left is Pincushion
Pinnacle, where I have
been 3x |
View back to
"Little Red Rock"
which has been
officially off-limits
since about 2004 |
Descending Gottlieb |
I had to climb down
to a shelf below
the brush, so my jump
is deceptively
unimpressive |
Next I will go to
the random peaklet,
which I will eventually
rename "Little
Red Rock Peak"
in honor of the name Ed F
bestowed on Gottlieb
in 2001 (his register
was crushed and destroyed
by water). |

The SE gully that
Ed F used to climb Gottlieb
("Little Red Rock")
long ago. |
Neat cave |
If you stay on the bike trail;
you avoid the obnoxious wash |
