First view of Uncompahgre Peak (14,309'), just after leaving treeline.

First obstacle: The trail disappeared behind this 8' wall of snow.

The crux move of the route was class 3 with the snow.

Looking back at the summit on the way out.

Odd pocked rock near treeline.

An old mining dam on Nellie Creek has since washed through at the bottom, though the top edge is still intact from side to side.
