Wintry Surprise

Standard Route from Kite Lake. Expecting to do the Decalibron, we were hampered by the early onset of winter. High winds overnight delayed our start and snow greatly slowed our ascent. Have to come back another day and bag the other three in a quick sweep - probably a little earlier in the year! It was beautiful, though.

Extended N. Ridge

Gained N. ridge from West side, North of point 13,400 and followed ridge up to summit. Swung down saddle and tagged Cameron and descended South side to Kite Lake.

Kite Lake

I hiked Democrat with some friends in preparation for Kilimanjaro. There were lots of hikers on the trail. It was cold and windy at the summit. Once we climbed this one, we headed back to the saddle to limb up Cameron.

Decalibron

From Kite Lake campground.
TH 5:15, Democrat summit 6:22, Demo-Cam Saddle 7:43, Cameron 8:30, Lincoln 8:50, Bross 9:49, Kite lake 11:15.
Beat the huge crowds by leaving at 5 a.m. on the busy Labor day Sunday. Was funny watching from the top of Lincoln as the herd was heading up Democrat. Nice folks, great weather and some idiot has a nice Toyota Tundra buried to the axles on the side of Bross's hiking trail, ouch!

standard route

1h from trailhead, in time to watch the sun rise. Some nice folks gave me a breakfast burrito at the summit.

Nice Hike

Climbed this peak with 300 of my best friends. Beautiful weather. A tad windy. Great views.

Decalibron

Nice hike. Camped at Kite Lake, so did a TON of other people. If your looking for solitude this is not the place to be. Still, incredibly beautiful, lots of fun, good weather and easy access.
