Ski descent in combo with Belford. Not much of a ski, there are better routes if you are willing to drop a lot of elevation (and thus gain it all back going over Belford), but with weather rolling in I tried to stay higher.

Long day
Climbed two 14ers with some great company on Saturday. Starting at 5AM from the Missouri Gulch trailhead we made the summit of Mount Belford around 12PM. I went on to solo neighboring Mount Oxford and had to reclimb Belford on my way back. Made it back to the trailhead at 5:30 making this a very long day. 11 miles roundtrip with 6000 ft. of elevation gain over 12 hours.

Short-saddle traverse
This is a neat high-altitude traverse from mt. Belford. The 700' loss/gain is quick but kinda a unique workout at 13,000!

Fun in the sun
Camped overnight south of Elkhead Pass. Went back up the pass and climbed this after Belford in the same day. Heading back up to the ridge of Belford from Oxford was pretty steep.

From Belford
With Megan and Katie, both 12. A mtn named (I presume) after my alma mater. Glad to see that nobody has seen fit to burden the Collegiates with a Mt Cambridge... Camped in Missouri Gulch; an early morning trip across Belf and Oxf.
