Red Cone Aug 18th 2025

OK, sounds good. How long does it usually take to run Red Cone (plus Webster Pass, I assume)?

Depends. One of the times I went we had a 4Runner that was on his lid. That added a few minutes.

Assuming a decent run without much drama, it's several hours. Usually back to Bailey by early dinner time or sooner.

You guys aren't doing Radical Hill (https://www.trailsoffroad.com/US/colorado/trails/429-radical-hill)?

I think it was mentioned earlier but I am not sure. Imagine it depends on time and comfort level.

I had forgotten about the narrow severe off-camber sections of Radical Hill. I have never been on it, though have done some off-roading around Bailey and Fairplay in the primordial past.

It's a bit sketchy. It's one of those things where you want to close your eyes and gun it.

The obstacles at the entry are pretty cool though.

My vote is to skip radical hill as that may be out of some people’s comfort level. Or if there’s enough of us, we could split in 2 groups, 1 for radical hill, and 1 for the easier way out?

by the way, I didn’t know this until now, my Airbnb is about 300 ft from cutthroat cafe lol. In those brown condos above the hill.

see ya’ll tomorrow

I'm not terribly excited about Radical Hill myself. I'll be doing Webster to get back to 285.

Much fun and many shenanigans were had. Pictures to follow.

Just a few quick ones from today, I'll go through a lot of the stuff this week though.

I was first to come down from the peak and didn't get video of myself.

Sadly, that's all too common on the trails.
