Big wt saving tip. Have the energetic JRT find marmots and mice to eat. How about becoming a falconer? Saltysack the sea worthy falconer. Beats a parrot for resupplying on the fly.
I guess you can't add a video clip anymore...

So, do I have this straight?
Collegiate West.
NOBO. 78-80 miles. Food as needed for old and slow Geezers.
Cars at Monarch and Twin Lakes. With permission of course.
Is water ever a problem? Carry a liter. Fill up for camp.
Am I missing anything?
Maroon Bells 4 Pass Loop. Warm up before or celebration after.
Sounds like a plan.

What's the difference between Monarch Crest (Pass?) and store. Or Monarch Lodge? I found a video recently and the group started at what looked like a convenience store.

Oh. The Lodge is 13 miles downhill from the Crest and store.
You're assuming we can climb 13 miles in a day and find all of our food in the store. Hmmmmm.

Monarch lodge is about 2mi off trail in garfield
You might sweet talk someone into taking you up to pass if needed. Lodge used to take people into salida.
Great place to stay and zero, mail resupply too if thru hiking instead of hitching to/from salida from the pass. Depends on what u like.
