What is this "Keyhole" near Sneffels?
|
Hey everyone. Like most everyone else, I'm so excited about next week's trip up to the Blanca group, that I'm already planning our next trip: Mt. Sneffels. |
|
that's the handle on Coffee Pot... or is it Tea Kettle? I can't remember. |
|
Can't say I've done it, but I know it has been done. It is on Teakettle Mountain. I've done a bit in the area, lot of loose crappy rock in loose crappy gullies. It't great fun! |
|
Sweet! So do you or anyone know what the route is up to it? Or is it as simple as setting a heading and free-schwacking up to it? |

It runs right past the base of the mountain. I think that there may even be a pull out right there; then head north. Also: Yup... This is not me, and you really do not need any gear to get up there. |

Excellent! Thank you so much for that and the picture! Very cool! I knew someone on here would know what it was, I just had to know because it looked so cool from so far away. |

There are routes up both Coffeepot and Teakettle; trip reports are over at 14ers.com. Both are low 5th class. |
