Access Issue: Private Property Details

The trailhead to some of these climbs are the CSU Mountain Campus. While some climbs are outside of the Campus (i.e. Emmaline Lake) the closest way to access them is through the campus. It is best to park outside of the campus gate at the Stormy Peaks Trailhead.

Description

The Fin is a hidden Colorado gem. It has a cool 5th class scfamble up and over a dramatic formation. Approach the base of the Fin via Emmaline Lake. Take the path of least resistance, you will crossing a boulderfield either way.

Location

While standing at Emmaline Lake, look right towards Comanche Peak and see obvious protruding fin. Top out on saddle between Comanche and Fall Mountain. It is easiest to descend over Fall Mountain and down the Mummy Pass Trail.
