Started from Guanella Pass with a good friend from college. It was my 6th 14er, his 1st. Great weather, with little wind at the summit.

West slopes from Guanella Pass
Guanella pass just opened so I started from the traihead near the pass. Drove up from Denver (very) early in the morning to have an early start (5.30 AM) to avoid postholing since there was still a lot of snow present. Great day out , met a lot of nice people on the way.

Spring bierstadt
Snowshoes through the willows, then switched to microspikes.
Started at 5:30, summitted at 9ish.
By 11 or so it started getting really warm and the snow was getting soft - I saw people heading up who started hours later than me but was glad I had gotten up early

Bierstadt via west slopes
Started at the winter trailhead, snowshoed up the road to the guanella pass th. Approach to the west slopes was windblown snow snowshoes were helpful. Switched to microspikes midway up as the snow was blown away. Suffered a bit from a headache but powered through summited
Really cool to combo Bierstadt and Evans. Made sure to have a beer at the summit.

A weekend trip from Wisconsin
My first 14er! I flew in from Wisconsin the evening before and had zero acclimatization. It was tough but it felt great to reach the top! Beautiful weather that day as well!

Crowded
Got a sunrise start right around 6:00. The boardwalk across the willows was slick with morning frost or ice on it. One section isn't very level at all as one side has settled. I promptly ended falling and hanging over the boardwalk with my hat and sunglasses in the water. I apparently wasn't the only one this happened to that morning. At any rate, me and about 300 other people hit the summit that day, with at least 40 of them being on top at the same time as me. If it's solitude and peace and quiet that you like, don't do this one in the summer.
Flew from GNP to visit my sister in Denver. Met up with Jeff, who wanted to start climbing/hiking 14ers. We made our way up Bierstadt, over the sawtooth and to evans. Great day.

Late Afternoon into Evening Climb - Sunset from Summit
I climbed this one after work. The trail is straightforward, I wasn't worried about using a headlamp on the way back down. There weren't many on the trail that day. Happy Trails.

Mt Bierstadt and Evans climb
Mt. Bierstadt was not too hard, I did in a reasonable amount of time. From there, I continued to Mt.Evans via Sawtooth

Very Wind Mt. Bierstadt ascent w/ Xavier
A cold, windy, mostly sunny ascent today. Snow from a storm last night made it slick in spots this morning. Windy.com indicated that the wind speeds at 14,000ft were 46mph around the time we hit the summit. All in all a great day to be outside.

Bierstadt and Evans via Sawtooth
5:18 Added about a half mile by accidentally going towards Spaulding for a bit. Was very boggy and wet in the meadows below the Sawtooth gully, impossible to keep the feet dry. Pretty windy at Evans but awesome conditions!
