| Climbed Sopris on the 4th of July. What a great time. July 3rd at the lakes, where are rowdy neighbors made it a fun evening. Only summitted the eastern summit... we'll be back for the other. | |

| BLong | Spring Ski Date Climbed: Apr 18, 2010 | |
| I have been on Sopris a couple times. Got to summit and ski the peak this spring. We skinned up the main bowl off to the looker's left of the center summit. Great trip. Good skiing conditions. Unsupportive snow on the way out made for a difficult exit. | |

| Four years in a row I climbed this mountain on the anniversary of my husband's death. He was killed by a drunk driver in 1997. I later started exploring other mountains. | |

| colinpence | awesome views... tremendous winds Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2005 | |
| I went with my usual IU hiking companions. We almost turned around in the middle of the hike because it was so windy and cold. Luckily Dennis had some fantastic cookies that he shared with us, and we managed to get a little more inspiration to keep going. It's a good thing we summited, because it was perfectly clear, and this mountain had great views at the top. | |

| Standard route from TH. A formidable 12er. Both summits. Couldn't have wished for a better day. Kinda creepy that there is cell phone reception at the top. I will always love this mountain and it will forever be one of my favorites! | |

| Panthera uncia | 6000+ feet! Date Climbed: May 14, 2009 | |
| Bushwhacked up from the Crystal River (~6600’) to the west bowl and then cramponed up dust covered snow to the west summit. It was an awesome experience on a wild mountain! | |

| photo61guy | Another nice day Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2008 | |
| We climbed the standard summit and didn't go on to the west summit. Had a wonderful ice pellet storm in the tent the day before. Nice to get out of Minnesota's heat and humidity. | ||

| kavak | Thomas Lakes approach Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2008 | |
| I have always wanted to summit this peak. It was a surprising workout for what is considered a lower peak in Colorado. The views of Capitol Peak were incredible. My sojourn on the summit was cut short by advancing dark clouds from the main Elk mountain Range summits. I descended into these clouds. This is what climbing these summits is all about. | |

| mtnhiker13 | Standard Route Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2005 | |
| Despite horrific wind we managed to summit. I wouldn't let anyone turn back and said we had to keep going. Great hike to do in the fall - the aspen were wonderful. | |
