Thanks Eric. Actually it wasn't very cold except for when we stopped moving on the summit. The weather made for a unique perspective on the Sawatch range.
I climbed La Plata last August on a very cloudy day
(but no rain) - we couldn't see past our noses, so it's nice to see some other pics. Winter sure makes the Sawatch look beautiful.
Yes, this was an incredible winter climb, and we lucked out with the weather! It was totally calm nearly the whole time. Intermittent wind on the ridge and summit reminded us of how spoiled we were.
