Mt Elbert 2006
Summitted the day after my 50th birthday. Thanks to everyone on top for the rousing "Happy Birthday". That was fun.

Summit with my wife
This was my wife's second mountain ever, after topping out on Democrat a couple days earlier. We drove up the 2 miles to the real trailhead to avoid the extra hike.

From north trailhead
Pretty easy hike. Contrary to many others, we saw maybe only 20 people the whole day.
Crowded!! Saw 50 people on the summit, 0 on Black Cloud. Lame summit view

East Slope via S. Elbert TH
I reached the summit with hiking pals, Phil Miller and Dan Spare in about three and a half hours. Beautiful weather encouraged the long walk to the top with at least 50 people at the summit. My 7th fourteener.
Great roadtrip out to Leadville with a hike up the northeast ridge.

Great first 14'er
We had a phenominal day... zero clouds. Took the Southeast trail from the lower trailhead/parking lot. 7 hours total (including some time to hang at the summit). Lots of fun, great views.

Black Cloud Ascent
My last 14er of that summer before I had to move out of CO for a while. Friends and I did the Black Cloud trail which turned out to be the perfect choice. We were the only ones to climb that route that day. Quite a change of scenery to pop out on the summit to 100 people.
