Long spring day
1.5 hours each way from/to Belford. Beautiful day but very windy going up Oxford from ridge. Oxford summit was the windiest of the entire day.

6/26/05 - Standard route over Belford.
3/17/12 - Insanely easy winter ascent via the standard route. Drove all the way to the TH. Never used snowshoes!

Belford and Oxford
Very windy on the ridge from Belford. Nice weather even though it was supposed to be rough.
After doing Belford a few years ago, but not bagging Oxford, it was time to get Oxford. Headed up the standard route of Belford and then made the traverse over to Oxford. On the return, instead of going back over Belford we headed down to Elkhead Pass and then down the whole length of Missouri Gulch. While longer it is far less steep. If I was do do either of these peaks I'd probably go up this route. In addition to being less steep, it was far less crowded.
