I have a question regarding difficulty of the terrain.
2018, I was in the San Juans (Unit 78), east and north of Chromo, and we walked in to the the Cinnamon Bear mountain area. I was wondering how much more difficult is the Gunnison Mountain area to travel in. I realize that this is apples to oranges, because everyplace is different. Just needing an idea of steepness comparison,
I keep seeing people warn about unit 53 and was hoping to get a little info, again, I realize everything is relative.
By way of example, do I need rock climbing equip. for 53, or is it more like, 53 in general has steeper climbs, but if a person made it in 78, they will have a slightly harder time in 53.
Thanks.
