Cheated  Sucess!

Was saving it for a human powered ascent, but my cousin was iin town and we only had the aftrernoon to bag it so we drove. Great summit, can't wait to go back and bag it the righth way.

Barr Trail  Sucess!

Overnight at Barr Camp, then went for the summit. Gorgeous day, minimal wind, and stupid tourists walking around on top. I didn't spend too much time on the summit, but the east slopes of this peak remind me of Mt. Massive.

Via West Fork/descend Crags  Sucess!

I have a goal of climbling Pikes in every month via a variety of routes. The West Fork is a gem. I would say it is the most scenic approach next to Bottomless Pit. We took advantage of the dry winter with a long winter day. I would highly recommend this as a loop route with descent of the Crags, but there is some private property to avoid. See TR.

Rocky  Sucess!

Cheated  Sucess!

I cheated and drove to the top when I was stationed at Peterson AFB, CO. If I were there again, I would hike Barr Trail.

Via Devils Playground  Sucess!

I took a friend from Idaho up the road to Devil's Playground. Since the rocks in that area are the high point of Teller County, we did that first and then on up to Pikes Peak. It was fitting first 14er for her.

Been up there 2x

on the cog rr. The first trip was with my son who was too little to hike up and the second was this past summer when I was with a group and we only had three hours to spend there. I am determined to hike the next time I am in Colorado Springs even if it takes me two days!

Summit from Crags in the clouds  Sucess!

This was our 3rd trip to the mountain (2 winter attempts, 1 summit for me) and our first summit with Chris and Marni together for #15 (and Turbo #13). Low clouds all the way made the Devil's playground really cool although we hurried for the 3 miles or more above treeline before storms started booming. Long day as we hiked 5 miles extra at the start up to Crags and on the dirt road because I'm an idiot.

First Winter 14er Summit  Sucess!

Climbed with Rob. Started Friday night late after work and topped out early Saturday AM via the Barr Trail in plenty of new snow and wind. Lots of fun in a small storm. Weather started to clear out on our way down and the sun came out.

Ran the Pikes Peak Marathon for my summit. Snow was flying at the top in August!

Last ranked 14er  Sucess!

Climbed solo via the Crags with "Devils Playground Peak". Met my family (who drove) at the summit to celebrate my final ranked 14er in Colorado. We had taken the Cog up when I was 16 months old, so this was a fitting ending to this chapter of my climbing. Definitely the weirdest summit experience with all of the tourist facilities up top.

With my wife  Sucess!

My wife's first 14'er and we also picked up the Teller County highpoint to make the day a two fer (county highpointing) and the second ultra for me in two days as I did Elbert the day before.

Hiked the Barr Trail with an overnight in national forest near Barr Camp with my friend Keith. Had a cheeseburger and hot pretzel on the summit.

LONG  Sucess!

Hiked up the Craigs and then descended the Barr Trail. The Barr trail lasts forever and most of it is in the trees. Very bad descent. I hate the Barr Trail.
