Whereas 10 years ago (the last time I was there) embedded rocks in an otherwise loose gully provided solid steps, the bulk of the &#8220;class 2&#8221; route has been eroded away. The end result is that there are several class 3 moves &#8212; indeed preferable class 3 or 4 sections &#8212; that line the way up and require hands and feet scrambling. Or to use one of my standards &#8212; class 2 routes are dog friendly, class 3 routes are not &#8212; and this is NOT a dog friendly mountain. But still fun and the day was just starting. We needed to continue our route over to the scramble-riffic Iron Nipple (yes, its official name) and Huerfano Peak.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_507\" style=\"width: 588px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3642.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-507\" class=\"size-full wp-image-507 lazyload\" title=\"Iron Nipple Colorado\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3642.jpg\" alt=\"Iron Nipple Colorado\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3642.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3642-300x224.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 578px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 578\/433;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kyles scales the mini-ridge to the summit of the eponymous Iron Nipple. <\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_509\" style=\"width: 588px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3645.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-509\" class=\"size-full wp-image-509 lazyload\" title=\"Iron Nipple summit\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3645.jpg\" alt=\"Iron Nipple Colorado\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3645.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.mountainouswords.com\/mountain-air\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/IMG_3645-300x224.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 578px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 578\/433;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting cheeky on the summit of Iron Nipple.
