Point 13,100 in the Sierra Blanca of southern Colorado

Mount Lindsey is located on private land. The owners allow access to the summit only from above treeline. That means coming in through the Huerfano Valley and climbing the trail up Nipple Creek to the ridge joining Mount Lindsey and the Iron Nipple. That leads onto the northwest ridge and north face, neither of which is pictured here. These photos are from the south side, the side from which most people view Lindsey. Photos from the climb to the ridge near the Iron Nipple can be found at Sierra Blanca.

The photo at the left is of Point 13,100, on the ridge between the Iron Nipple and Gash Ridge, (climb rating: 5.0-5.2) which leads to Blanca Peak. Click on the photo and you'll get a larger version.
