| WoundedKnee | Nice hike  Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2010 | |
| Really felt the altitude 36 hours after arriving from NC. Gorgeous aspens made it worth it. | |

| Kapelmuur | It's Autumn? Could've fooled me... Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2010 | |
| Best weather I've seen all season on my way up and down the Northeast Ridge. Not a cloud in the sky, no wind on the summit and in the high 60's on the way down. Just a little residual snow on the trail above 13K, but easily avoidable. | |

| A wonderful day with three, maybe four clouds in the blue, blue sky and just a handful of people atop Colorado in the early morning. Lucky us! Wonderful to see the sun rise just as we passed treeline. | |

| Can't say that this was the greatest hike but it was still satisfying to reach the top of Colorado. | |

| MarkDidier | Via Black Cloud Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2010 | |
| Ascended via Black Cloud and descended via South Elbert (cars at both trailheads). The hike up Black Cloud was tough but beautiful with fresh snow on La Plata and Ellingwood Ridge. | |

| tllwebb4 | A lifelong dream Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2010 | |
| Baaa. Been wanting to do this since I was a little kid. I dedicate this climb to Grandma and Grandpa, although they are gone, for introducing me to the mountains back in NC. It was 5.5 miles and 4800 ft. vertical from near the start of the 4WD road for South Elbert Trail. Nice clear views from the top. | |

| urnotreal | Nice morning Date Climbed: May 21, 2002 | |
| Left Chicago on the evening of 19th and rolled into Leadville in time to head to the bar, only to watch my Red Wings lose game 2 in overtime to the Avalanche. It all worked out though. I hiked to Colorado's highest point the next day and the Wings raised the cup a few weeks later! | |

| Climbed the east ridge, and you could not ask for better weather to hike in. Hiked with some friends, and it was their first 14er. It was great. | |

| Took my 9 year old up the South Ridge. We made the summit at 9:15 am after a 6:20 start. He was a real trooper. On the way down we watched the thunder clouds build and we were driving out by 12pm. Saw lots of people heading up. | |

| kteichert | HP #13 on 13 July, 2010 Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2010 | |
| Intended to do South Elbert Trail. Found the old mining road, that dead ends and some tailings. Route found my way up the ridge, hit the 14er on the southwest slope of Elbert along the Black Cloud Trail and continued up to Elbert. Fantastic climb. Took 5 hours to go 11 miles roundtrip. Returned on the South Elbert trail. | |
