| 3rd 14er, 1st solo climb. Met lots of cool people on the trail - a special thanks to the nice couple that took a picture of me at the summit when my camera stopped working!! | |

| scvanm | S Mount Elbert Trail. 17th Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2007 | |
| Got number 17. Had great weather but I lived to regret my lack of pre-hike workouts. I was sore for 5 days!!! Had a great father son trip with my son CJ. We used the trail from the South East (South Mount Elbert Trailhead). I am glad we used te 4wd to cut off some of the distance. | |

| rkymtn | Mt. Elbert Trail Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2007 | |
| My wife and I climbed with our dog to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. It was an easy hike that was perfect for the hound. The day was absolutely gorgeous with warm temps and little wind at the summit. We stayed on top for quite a while to take in the views and enjoy the morning. | |

| 2skinners | HP #5 Solo Climb (2nd of 4 highpoints in 3 days) Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2007 | |
| This was by far my favorite of the 4 highpoints I did on my long trip. The others were New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The scenery was absolutely amazing with near perfect weather to boot. | |

| mountainloverCO | Enjoyable Hike Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2006 | |
| This was an enjoyable, easy walk-up with nice views of the Sawatch and Elk ranges from the summit. My only complaint would be the throngs of people streaming up and down the two main routes. Try this one on a weekday to avoid the crowds. | |

| rwhitt | Rwhitt Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2005 | |
| Arrived and spent the night camped at the Twin Lakes campground near the trail head. Thunderstorms and rain much of the afternoon and evening. Due to early morning showers, I did not begin my ascent until 10:30 AM. Climbed to 13,500 elevation as the clouds began to rebuild. Since this was my first experience with a Colorado 14-Teener, I chose to retreat rather than risk being exposed to the danger of a summer afternoon thunder and lightening storm. It was my first and thus far only attempt at summitting Mt. Elbert. I hope to return for another attempt and this grand old chunk of rock. | |

| Proterra | Peaceful climb Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2003 | |
| Nice and peaceful after the day before... Had a beer at the summit, and took a few hits of our bong 200 feet below, away from the kiddies at the top. 9 hours RT from Twin Lakes, including some lingering at the summit. | |

| cftbq | Nice Family Hike Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2004 | |
| My 21st 14er, and the first with 3 generations of climbers: me and my wife, our daughter, and our granddaughter, who bagged her first. Clouds threatened, but didn't really unleash anything. (I want to do it again as a run, and see how long it takes.) | |

| bricewilson | Winter ascent of Elbert Date Climbed: Mar 17, 2007 | |
| South Mt. Elbert trail (East ridge). Great weather, just a little wind. The snow softened up on the descent and we were sinking pretty deep even with snowshoes. Only saw one other person. | |

| Mescalito345 | Elbert in July Date Climbed: Jul 4, 1984 | |
| This was my first 14er. I'm not sure about the year, it might have been 1984 or 1985. Even though I was there in July, it was cold in the morning and some snow fell near the summit. | |
