Description
The five of us decided to try a quick jaunt in the Mosquito Range. We left the Four Mile Creek Road and eventually made our way to the cirque below Horseshoe Mountain. We geared up and followed a set of kicked steps most of the way up the Boudoir Couloir before topping out and enjoying a relatively clear day in central Colorado. This was a fun snow climb worth the effort.
