CLIMBING BLODGETT PEAK


These are pictures from my climb on Blodgett Peak in Colorado Springs. Blodgett Peak is about a 4 mile climb to the top at 9,423 feet. However, I lost the trail so I climbed Blodgett’s next door neighbor instead which was at the same height, perhaps slightly higher. The trail was steep and the giant rocks were tough to get through, especially at the end, but I got there. Cade Mayson would have made it in half the time I’m sure, but he would have gotten lost as much as I did. It was an adventure for sure.

The final stretch toward the top up giant rocks. The last part was really steep.

Another view from the top. You can just barely see the Air Force Academy.
