| chicagotransplant | Thanks! | |
Voted 10/10 | Thanks Aaron for setting up another great summer gathering in the San Juans! It was a lot of fun, and the weather was just perfect. It was great meeting everyone, and seeing those of you I met last year again! Just some thoughts from the climbs... I really enjoyed both Grand Turk and Sultan, their position in the range allows for some of the best views of the Grenadiers I have ever seen. The "bonus peak" we did, unnamed PT 12849, was a great peak as well. Very gentle, covered in beautiful wildflower meadows and with outstanding views back to Sultan and Grand Turk. Aaron, good call on Cinnamon Pass, the road was drier than I expected after that afternoon squall, but better yet the clouds were breaking up as I neared the the pass so I went up Cinnamon Mtn and got some great sunset shots! See you all next summer, but hopefully sooner! | |

| sarah.simon | What a great time | |
Voted 10/10 | It was wonderful to see all of you and meet many of you for the first time. I will post my pics soon, I promise. Deb and I decided instead of a wildflower hike Sunday morning to summit Red Mountain #1 before checking out of our hotel. My favorite quote of the trip Someone, upon seeing several of the formerly grungy mountain ladies freshly showered and groomed at restaurant: "Wow, you guys turned into girls." Sarah | |

Hasn't voted | Weather, mountains, and friends old and new all conspired to make it a phenomenal day in the San Juans. What a great group of people! Can't wait to do it again next year. Aaron, Alan, tell me what I can do to help make that happen. | |

Voted 10/10 | All of the elements converged to make this a wonderful experience, including good friends, perfect weather, outstanding planning, and most of all one of the most beautiful mountain areas I have ever visited. I'm already looking forward to next year's event! | |
