Music Mountain ) and Pico Ashlado). They are bounded by high, wide ridges, and have no below below 3,650 meters (with the exception of the Medano Pass and the Heiden Pass).
Access to the mountains of Crestons is usually good. The Milwaukee massif is usually difficult to access. Two of the four mountains in this array are very removed. One of them is Pico Ashlado. Because of its remoteness, it got its name. "Aislado" translated from Spanish is "isolated" [2] .
Mountaineering
Pico Ashlado, along with his neighbor Tizheras Peak, are located in a remote area of the ridge, south of Creston Peak . Pico Ashlado, in particular, is so well hidden that it can be seen only from several ridges and peaks. Despite the fact that climbing by this peak is recommended only to experienced climbers [3] , a trip through the scenic area near the mountain can be recommended to everyone.
Climbing Pico Ashlado is not only long, but also difficult. Guidebooks recommend spending a few days on it. The walking part of the route includes 13 kilometers of backpacking , then an ascent of about 30 kilometers. Climbing in the walking part of the route is about 1000 meters, while climbing - about 2800 meters [3] .
Base camp is usually set up near one of the Sand Creek lakes. The camp on the lower lake of Sand Creek is considered the best point for climbing Tizheras Peak , while the camp on the upper lake of Sand Creek will make a little shorter than the ascent of Pico Ashlado. Some climbers prefer to move their camp between climbs, while others make both climbs from the same camp on one of the lakes [3] .
