Thanks, Steve. Blanca is in the Sangres south of Sand Dunes NP on the edge of the San Luis Valley north of Fort Garland, CO.

That's the Nord Wand of Blanca but you'd reach it form the East, from the hamlet of Gardner in the Wet Mountain Valley. It's said there are 5th class climbs up on the face but most climb Blanca from the other side.
