Sundance Mountain  Sucess!

September 17 2018

After work, I climbed Sundance Mountain just before sunset.

August 7 2018

After work, I climbed Sundance Mountain from Trail Ridge. It was a nice hike, but the views were limited due to wildfire smoke. I saw several marmots near the summit as well.

Car climb  Sucess!

Well worth taking the time to park and hike (about a mile round trip). Saw a large herd of deer to the east and there were great views all around.

First CO summit for me  Sucess!

30 min roundtrip from the road. Cold and windy but great views. Felt a bit dizzy since I flew in from Copenhagen (=sea level) the day before.

First CO summit  Sucess!

Easiest work for the second tallest peak I've bagged this year. Views off the non road side were fantastic - drastic cliffs drops. Fun quick hike!

Short hike  Sucess!

Nice views of Mummy Range and Never Summer Range. Those approaching dark clouds above the peaks looked surreal!

From Trail Ridge Road  Sucess!

Got a late start today due to mechanical issues, and squeezed in this summit just before the storms hit. Hung out on the summit 'til approaching storm clouds chased me off. Dynamite views from this peak, plus saw two mighty huge bull elk near the mountain on the drive out. Was good to get back on Trail Ridge Road, it had been a few years.

Easy, fun, and great views. Not a cloud in the sky, chilled on top for like a half hour, peaceful.

From Trail Ridge Road  Sucess!

I went to Sundance with my CMC BMS instructor, Matt, to practice some snow climbing in the couloirs north and east of the mountain. We went up and over the summit, then east and down into the cirque. We were gonna go up the northernmost of the east facing couloirs, but the snow conditions were not copacetic, so we climbed right back up the north facing slope, then back over the summit again on the way to the car. The park service just opened the road about a week ago, so there's still a fair amount of snow up on Trail Ridge.

Plan B  Sucess!

After being turned away from Snowdrift by a ranger due to a fire on the west side I decided to make the annual fall pilgramage up Fall River Road and also added a few ranked bumps along the way.

Tundra walk  Sucess!

Hiked up the tundra from the Forest Canyon overlook parking area. Saw a nice herd of a dozen or so elk on the slopes on the way up. Part of a day touring the peaks along Trail Ridge Road.

North side couloir  Sucess!

Fantastic couloir climb on the north side. Easy approach from Trail Ridge Rd, downclimbed mixed snow and rock and back up one of the narrower couloirs. Fun day despite poor visibility and new snow in June.
