Camped out Friday night below South Colony Lakes and started up early the next morning. The gulleys require careful route finding and crossover from the first gulley to the second actually felt like a class 4-5 maneuver with minor exposure. Rest of the climb is on excellent solid, knobby rock. Unmatched views from the top of the Needle. My climbing partner and I decided to not add on the main peak standard route so after we returned to camp I figured I'd take the opportunity to bag Humboldt. Made good time, got to spend about 45 minutes on the summit and took some pictures for a large group from Colorado Springs. After descending back to camp I took a short nap before packing up and heading out. Spotted a fellow New Hampshirite and Catholic at the trailhead and stopped to say hello. Bummer that smoke from the west coast obscured the view but I'll be back eventually for Crestone Peak!
