Mount Crested Butte – Guide Ridge

Summer has come to Crested Butte! More visitors are visiting, snow patches are turning into mud, mud puddles are drying out, and wildflowers have started blooming all over the place. To prepare for the summer season, most of the guides went out for staff training this past weekend. We climbed to the peak of Mount Crested Butte via the Guide Ridge and Sunset Ridge to refresh our memories of what the mountain looks like without snow, then rappelled down.  The guide ridge is a great alternative route to the peak and alpine experience right out our backdoor.
