Mount Herman

Turns out my interview went long and my plans of climbing in Denver went out the window as a result, but had a fun climb on the way home.

Herman is located in Monument, a little bit north of the Springs. Yes, Dirty Woman Creek Park really exists, and it sits near Pike National Forest so it might be a great place to start a hash.

Anyways, the climb up to Herman wasn't anything too bad, most of it is on a nice trail. Did have to do some bouldering at the very top, nothing too bad though. From the top one is treated to amazing views of Pikes Peak, Pike National Forest, and even some of the Rockies up above Denver.

The most fun was driving to the trailhead. A very rugged one lane dirt road, with a drop of several hunderd feet on the one side and a rock wall on the other side. Typical Colorado driving, but I'm sure glad nobody came the other way while I was out there.

Took a few pics, you can go see 'em here.
