Route Climbed: Elbert Trail Date Climbed: 9/24/2000
2 inches of snow at 10,500' about 6" at the summit. Beautiful views. This could be a very enjoyable winter ski trip. Easy walk for such a big mountain.
Route Climbed: Mt Elbert Trail Date Climbed: 2/2/01
Nice day - yes, a hailstorm, a little rain, a little clouds, a little sun, but this is Colroado after all. Easy climb to a crowded top - nice way to end the summer.
A flatlander Hoosier summits his first 14er, accompanied by college-student son. Next to watching his birth, it's the neatest thing I've ever done. This year, it's Mt. Massive. I figure at this rate, I'll do all Colorado's 14ers by age 103.
Route Climbed: Halfmoon trail Date Climbed: 6.30.01
I have very much enjoyed my first Fourteener today. Sort of surprised myself. I had not planned to hike it all the way. Departing early made it all happen. The next time I'll travel even lighter and pack some chocolate and ear covers. Yes, ear cover make sense up high even on a sunny day!
Route Climbed: Halfmoon Trail Date Climbed: 7/17/2000
Excellent hike on a clear day following about 3 days of rain. Stayed in Leadville for about 24 hours prior to the hike and had no problems with the altitude. Check out my web page for pictures from the trip:

Route Climbed: Notheast RidgeThis is a very easy route and just about anyone in good health can reach the summit.
