Hiking Pettingell Peak & Free Solo the Citadel! via scenic Herman Gulch [4K UHD Cinematic]

This is a Convenient yet EPIC mountain climbing Adventure right off of I-70 to the north and just East of the Eisenhower Tunnel. Don't let the easy access fool you; it packs a Huge Punch! The hike up Herman Gulch to the lake was 2.5 miles of heavily trafficked but beautiful creek side trail with several flower filled meadows and inspiring mountain views as you climb into the upper basin. Pettingell Peak is a Class 2 hike up above Herman Lake to the Continental Divide and north along the divide to the Peak proper. Then backtracking south leads us along an increasingly challenging ridge depositing us at the Class 5 headwall of the Citadel! Time to GO BIG!
