Route: Kite Lake
Climbed this one with Old Guide as part of our annual summer father & son 14er climb. Beautiful weather early in the day which built into the normal summer storm clouds.

The Decalibron II
Started out with an ascent of Mt. Buckskin, at 5:00am, then returned to Kite Lake and did 'The Decalibron II' route. Perfect weather, great views from up there. Got 5 in 1 day; a 13,865' peak & 4 14ers. Not bad for a Monday!

Democrat-Cameron Combo
Kite lake start in late september. About an inch of snow on the ground. Made the hike to democrat with no real problems, only blowing snow. Descended to the saddle and headed up Cameron. We arrived on top to a 60mph blizzard. since everyone had already done lincoln, we moved towards bross, but couldnt see the broad ridge in the whiteout, so we followed our tracks back down to the saddle and to the car.

Was trying for the trifecta but got blown off by bad weather. I hope that girl that was still heading up in the lightning is still alive.

Triplet from Kite Lake
Made the trip round the horn, Lincoln > Cameron > Democrat > Bross. Had to park 2-3 miles from the trailhead for fear of my car which made for the day being a little longer.

Decalibron: 1st down
Climbed this group my 1st summer of peak bagging. Fire restrictions had cut access to these peaks until the end of July. As soon as they lifted the restrictions I went right for them, afraid they would shut them down again before I could bag them. Started from Kite Lake.

1 of "4" That Day
Depending on whether or not you consider Mt. Cameron a 14er, we completed Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross. There was still enough snow on Bross for a small glisade.

Great Hike. Shoe Skiing down the scree from Bross made the descent perfect.

Another first for me: I was sick all the way from the saddle to the summit. Had a few shots the night before and it wasn't pretty. Another lesson learned the hard way. Not even sure I looked around when I got to the summit.
