Sounds like a fun but wind-blown trip! Did the balloon help Keifer along any ;) Having rafted through this area I'm determined to get back and hike these peaks one summer. Thanks for sharing a great trip!
We didn't have enough time to evaluate it's effectiveness... he claimed that it burst mysteriously...
that I lugged up (5 liters). But it sure was a good time up there with you! It's good to see my KFC also made the trip report.
You won... that weekend. Wine, KFC, and sugary cookies... if that is not victory then I do not know what is...
Seems like every time I try a winter climb here in CO the weather is always 100 MPH winds and whiteout conditions! Since you've done all the 14ers, a place I would recommend you go to that you haven't been is the WA Cascades. But then again there a little bias when I saw that :) Great work getting those peaks in the winter though!
