| I soloed the DeCaLiBron. I was very pleased that the road had been grated because otherwise, my Prizm wouldn't have made it to Kite Lake. A few inches of snow fell the night before, but it melted very quickly. I didn't like the descent off Bross, but fortunately I found some snow to take advantage of for some of it. | |

| Try the descent during the late spring/early summer before the snow melts out of the gully - less erosion that way through the scree. | |

| After summitting Democrat and Cameron, I headed over to Bross. Coming down the scree was the fastest descent I ever had. | ||

| First time was Sept. 2001 and I had to practically run off the mountain to get out of a snowstorm. Only got Cameron/Bross that day since the weather was so crazy. Thankfully getting from Bross to the parking lot only takes 45 minutes (or less) if you're in a hurry. Climbed again in August 2003 to get Lincoln and complete the group. Had good weather and didn't have to run down Bross this time. | |

| This was the finishing touch to the triple header. Coming down the mountain was a bit tough, but extremely fun!! | ||

| Great day! Blue skies all day. What an ideal finish to the three banger. Helped several people find the path down to Kite Lake. | |

| DaFreshman | Route Climbed: Standard, 4-banger combo Date Climbed: 23 august, 2003 | |
| Really kind of an un-exciting mountain. Its mainly just a really huge blob of talus with no real features or aesthetics to speak of. The hike from Cameron is literally on roads - as the top is completely checkerboarded with old mining roads that you could easilly take most 4WD cars up. Met a party of Europeans on mountain bikes on the top. Decent back to Kite lake is well defined, but somewhat of a choss pile - its amazing that enough thousands of boots can change talus into funky, loose scree. Not really a peak I'd be too excited about doing agin just due to the boring factor :) | ||

| My climbing partner Tim and I reached the summit of Mount Bross on Saturday, August 9, 2003. This was Tim’s second official 14’er of the day. We left Democrat off the circle traverse as I had reached its summit earlier this year with a fellow climber. | |

| Kind of a long day...I'm not gonna fib! It wasn't too hard, though I had a headache most of the day. I suppose it was due to lack of acclimation. I was fine the rest of the week, though, so I guess these 4 got me good and acclimated! Kind of a boring mountain, I thought, with it being so rounded at the top. Not really any distinct peak. How crazy that people drive all the way up there!! I wish we would have asked someone for a ride down...but the way down wasn't too bad. Full of scree, but it was fun. I found a little bit of snow to slide down-whee! It was nice to get back to camp after a while. I tried to swim in Kite Lake but only got in to about my waist before I high-tailed it outta there! BRR it was cold! | |

| Bryan W | Route Climbed: Kite Lake via Democrat/Cameron/Lincoln Date Climbed: 7/9/03 | |
| Started down off of Lincoln and was at the base of Cameron in about 10 minutes. It is a long traverse over to Bross, but it did not take too long. As we started our ascent, I was amazed to see 2 vehicles at the top. Man, I did all of this work and you can just drive to the top. Next time I will just have to take the easy route. Made the top, no big deal and had a snack. It was time to start down towards Kite Lake. This was the hardest part of the day. There are a couple of trails and it would be best to take the one off of South Bross. That is not what we did, so we got stuck in some steep scree. No big deal and we finally got back on the correct trail. Wow, 3 official 14ers in a day. | |

| 395guy | Route Climbed: Kite Lake to Democrat to Lincoln to Bross Date Climbed: July 3, 2003 | |
| My first 14ers! Awesome circuit across three 14ers. Going from Kite Lake to Mt. Democrat to Mt. Lincoln to Mt. Bross is like rounding a seven-mile baseball diamond backwards. Mt. Bross has a humongous flat top. I had to hike about a 1/4 mile across the top to the north just to see off the north edge. The hike down from Bross was quite tricky due to the loose scree on the steep slope. | |
