I finished the Crestone Group with a long hike up Kit Carson Mountain 07/17/04.
A trip to the Chicago Basin for 4th of July Weekend finished off the San Juans, with separate 3,000' ascents of Sunlight and Windom Peaks on 7/4 and Mount Eolus 7/5.
Snow in the air and on the ridge complicated the already difficult North Maroon Peak 06/26/04, and I thus completed the Elk Range fourteeners.
An airy solo adventure from Kilpacker Basin up El Diente Peak 06/12/04 leaves only the Chicago Basin group left in the San Juans.
An outing on the Southwest Ridge of Little Bear Peak 06/05/04 proved successful yet grueling. Ryan, Erin, Rex, Amy, Jeff Valliere, Jay, and I collaborated to check this monster off the list.
A return to Handies Peak for a proper 3,000' ascent was successful 05/31/04.
For all my other climbs this year and previous, go to the peak gallery here or view the LIST.
| It is impossible to fully describe the experiences one has climbing alpine peaks in words alone. In an attempt to present my experiences, I have compiled trip reports with pictures. These are found in order of ease of accessibility by date climbed, through links in the 'Peak Gallery' - pictures of peaks climbed are sorted by year and date, or by Range (links at the upper left of this page). I have finished the official and ranked lists, though I may be back for subpeaks in the future. After viewing the site, perhaps the answer to "Why I do it" will become more clear. Enjoy! |
