I have Guadalupe Peak on the "maybe" list of state highpoints I can attempt with Kellisa. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking about pushing Kellisa up highpoints when I hiked the Guadalupe Peak Trail in August of 2003, so I didn't access the feasibility. I don't remember any scrambles or anything that would make it a definite no, so I will probably return with Kellisa at some point in the future.
