on a fine "debut" for your first CO climb! You were a real trooper through the tedious loose terrain despite your shoes that didn't give any support. I'll have to work on my poker face so as not to give away that scree's a-coming. Anyhow, welcome to the "peak junkie" club :-) Hope you will join us for another climb soon!
is right! You're a hero! Your mental stamina and physical endurance are impressive. Not an easy introduction to Class 2-4, and all in one hike to boot. You're welcome to hang with us anytime. It was such a pleasure having you along!
PS. On our descent off of W. Apostle, we descended to a cairned saddle, not an unnamed summit. :-)
A great Trip Report. Enjoyed reading it.
A few photos would have helped make the page more lively. Scott and Amy can help with that.
Welcome to Summit Post,
Happy climbing,
Marc

Thanks!
Thanks guys! Of course I couldn't have done it without you. I'm definitely looking forward to MORE! And looking forward to skiing with ya'll as well! I'm still learning to navigate this site and will add some pics in the text soon because I agree Marcsoltan, it would make it more interesting, fashizz.
Happy climbing indeed,
Diana
That's a huge intro to Colorado's mountains, Diana. What a cool outing you all. I'm sure you'll be back up that way ASAP, especially if you hang out with Scott and Amy more...those two are animals. Good stuff.
