March 13th, 2010, 1 day ascent of Mrs. Mesa. 14 miles, 4000 ft. up, 4000 ft. down, 13 hours. Coal Creek Basin Trail to Coal Creek Trail, to Swithcback Trail, to Rim, 1 mile to Mrs. Mesa. Matt Cova climbing, Jason Adams belaying.

At least it's warm 4wheel'n. Not home yet. Great adventure. 2.5 days and the gate closes for the winter. Another stellar fall on the Mrs. Mesa.
