8/8/2024 Route: Eider Creek Trail Posted On: 8/8/2024, By: ScottLovesRMNP Info: Beautiful area. It would be helpful if someone could bring a new summit register up the present one is 5,000 scraps of soggy paper that is illegible at this point unfortunately. |

10/8/2023 Route: via Campbell Posted On: 10/8/2023, By: SnowAlien Info: Aspens are going off right now, just incredible. Saw a teepee/yurt just below Campbell. No snow on the southern aspects. Traverse to West Dallas had some snow. Register on T0 is in rough shape - wet and chewed up. Finished Bicentennials on T0. |

8/19/2023 Route: CarpeDM Posted On: 8/20/2023, By: blazintoes Info: Biked Eider Ck to Deep Creek then climbed up the south side of Campbell Pk to connect to T0. Nothing difficult to report. This is the best no drama route to climb T0. Quick and easy. This is also a great way to view the entire Dallas divide. |

8/24/2019 Route: Eider Creek TH, over Campbell Posted On: 8/24/2019, By: CarpeDM Info: More of a route description than conditions report. But I didn't want to do a full trip report. This route is much like the one described in trip reports by Chicago Transplant and Doug62. I just happened to find the 4wd road which cut out the bushwhacking section that they did, but put me a bit further from the ridge crest. First, conditions were great: no snow, no avy debris, no logs to step over. I just want to plug starting at the Eider Creek TH, which is a signed, beautiful class 1 trail starting at the 1st switchback up the Mill Creek road. Room for a few cars. Several good campsites here as well. Follow the trail until it intersects the Deep Creek trail, where you hang a left. Keep going on that (also awesome) class 1 trail until you come to an old, overgrown 4wd road and you can see Campbell through the trees on your right. (It'll take longer than you think it should, but it's obvious.) Follow the 4wd road up until it ends. You'll quickly run into a short angled slab section. I went left to skirt it and kept going up steep grass and dirt steps to make my way to the ridge to Campbell on climber's right. You may be able to find some game trails to help with this. It does get a little junky as you cross some loose rock, but I think this is probably the best way to do T0. It minimizes bushwhacking and minimizes gain on the way down. At the slabs, you _may_ be able to climb them directly or circle around the trees to the right (in pic2) to get on the ridge and avoid some of the loose rock. The ridges are mainly dinner plates, but well stacked - footing is generally good. The scrambling section is about 150 feet of class 3+/easy 4. It's _fairly_ solid. All in all, this was much more pleasant than many bicents I've done, and definitely better than I expected given the nightmare accounts I've heard from others who took other routes. |

9/13/2018 Route: Fromp Campbell Posted On: 9/13/2018, By: illusion7il Info: Other than a quick 20 min bushwack and a very brief 2+ section this route is actually just a straight forward walk up. The standard route looks like the ultimate scree buffet. Done... Does anyone know the meaning or how it got the unoffical name "T0" ? |
