- Description:
-
I had the day off but no partner, so I decided to go back to the Tenmile/Mosquito's and finish my last Centennial Peak in that mountain
range. I got a very late start and didn't start hiking until after
11:00 am, but I knew it was a very short hike and went anyway. I had
been on Drift's northwest ridge last fall and ran out of time before turning
around at 12,800'. Villa Ridge ended up being a very fun hike that I
enjoyed a lot. I made the summit in 1 hour and 45 minutes, but my late
start caught up with me. The weather wasn't holding, and within 15
minutes of descending, it started to rain and grauple hard. As a result
of the lightning and thunder, I dropped off the ridge at my earliest
convenience and descended the northwest bowl route. It didn't stop
until on the drive home and by the time I was back to my vehicle, I was
totally soaked despite having a light shell on the entire time it rained.
