Pt. 8710 is not 5th class

John: A buddy and I went out today to climb Pt. 8710 near Saguache; it's listed as 5.x and has previously been climbed by Mike Garrett (sp?). Anyway, we found a short section (6' ?) of what was no harder than 4th class, possibly 3+, then a mostly horizontal ramp wrapping around to the NE corner of the formation. From there an easy stroll to the top. Mike's summit register is there from 2009, we were the only other people who've signed. Not sure how/why it was listed as 5th class but we concur that it's barely 4th class. Just fyi.
