Cronin Pk. - Northeast Face


Sawatch Range - CO

Cronin Pk. - 13,870' 

Northeast Face 


With northerly aspects still being well preserved... thus yet to really corn at high elevations we thought it would be a good time to head for the east face on Cronin Peak. Although the approach up Baldwin Gulch is close to 6 miles we had beta that the approach was well snow covered thus made for an quick and enjoyable exit ski right back to the van.  #Alltime!
