@@captainwolf348 I’d say about an hour

@@andya9698 I don’t recall. There was satellite/phone service I believe

@@leahgraham8118 I believe this was around the end of September. About as little snow as you will likely find

We did go to the Proctor Creek crossing/washout on 6220. If you go that way, just be ready for a bushwhack. Following the small streams is likely the path of least resistance but stay towards the left (north) fork as you work up to the ridge. Alternatively, you could take the road that leads to the normal Persis approach and start there. A bit longer, but probably better traveling for the first section. I don’t know of any schedule as to when the gate will be open or not. When I climbed Persis a few years ago, I just started from Hwy 2, but that added a lot of road miles. A mountain bike/E-bike/Dirt bike might be a good option to take around the gate and save some time.

@@thorschosen Thanks, appreciate the quick reply. It's been locked the last couple times i've gone out to climb Persis so trying to figure out if it's random or scheduled. Either way, looks like it might be better to wait a little longer for the snow to melt out on the traverse.

Gate locked today 😂

Hey man, I’m just trying to follow the route description 😆 which included, “step right, stem off tree” Tree is fair game at that point lol

Yes, I told Dan that was completely his call in his Jeep 😅 Luckily it’s just 0.2 miles down 1850 from FS-18, so it’s easy to just walk that part

Just wasn’t what we were planning on this trip. We both have families and often try to limit our outings to day climbs when we can. But that is still something I would like to do. I will probably plan for an overnighter the next time I go back.

btw diggin da beatz

That was an additional cost. You can often negotiate with the local operators to do it for around $50. Probably varies by season

@@thorschosen Good to know. Thank you! We will be there next month!

We down climbed the same way we came up and it wasn’t bad. If it were wet or snow covered we would have wanted to rappel.

It was about a 12 hour day

Not for us. But the members of our group that were at all prone to sea sickness took precautions ahead of time. So I would recommend taking medication or a patch if you get motion/seasickness.

@@thorschosen Will do! Thanks!

😆

It likely would be very hot. I might recommend starting early and just hiking to Colomitos, then taking a water taxi back to downtown, or over to Las Animas beach and then back

@@thorschosen thank you

Not sure on “last time,” though there is a schedule somewhere for the public water taxi. We just happened to speak to this taxi at Colomitos and arranged a time to meet at Quimixto. As long as you are looking before 5 or so, my guess is there will be options at most of the main beaches. Or you can arrange one ahead of time from Boca.
