"6/10/23: Third summit of the day. After rounding the Devil’s Elbow and Peak 12666, Paul and I were elated, although not necessarily surprised, that the Divide ridge and all slopes west were completely free of snow! It was now obvious that completing the loop (and not trying to down climb the Devil’s 12’er) was the way to go. We radioed back to Calvin and Rebecca (who were still bushwhacking their way down the West Clear Creak drainage to Camp) that we would continue on and meet them back at camp. We had one more snow field to negotiate on the east slopes directly off the summit of 12673 and made a beeline for the saddle with First Corner as more snow thunder and weather began to intensify to our southwest now. Soon all of First Corner Point and our spur ridge was enveloped in snow cloud as corn snow began pelting us and I made the call to descend as orderly as possible to simply take Jones Pass Rd back instead of over First Corner. All in all a magnificent day on the Divide and everyone was very happy with their path chosen and taken! (6.8/2500 total)" — LoneWolf • Jun 10, 2023
