I didn't know what I was getting into when I set out to climb PT13027. I decided to roll the dice and head up Roell Creek to Hidden Lake and climb the west face.

It wasn't long after leaving the Vallecito Trail that I realized I was in for an adventure. The out and back bushwhack up Roell Creek is one of the more challenging I have experienced. The bush was thick, the terrain steep (sometimes exposed), somewhat physical and slow moving.

There were some fun slabs below Hidden Lake and the west face was kinda cool... but I can't say I would go back and I definitely don't recommend this route.... hahahaha... sometime you just gotta be the beta. You're welcome
