Mount Sneffels is a short, steep and rugged climb with some technical scrambling at the top. The drive to the trailhead is a pretty difficult task in itself. We ended up hiring a guide with Peak Mountain Guides out of Ouray to drive us to the trailhead and get us to the top of this challenging fourteener. I am really glad we had a guide with us for this one. It was a cold and windy hike through interminable talus slopes. He roped us up for the short 30' of Class 2+ scrambling near the top. We were super happy to make it to the top.
