from the main trail  Sucess!

Started just before dawn. My second 14er.

Some snow from a couple hundred feet from the saddle. Wind and slushy snow up to the summit. Was socked in a cloud up top, which cleared as I was descending. Back to the parking lot just before 3pm. Great climb.

Tour de Massive  Sucess!

I started out at 0530 at the North Halfmoon Trailhead. Trail was very nice all of the way up to Massive Summit. I made it to the Massive Summit, then traversed to Massive Green, North Massive and Point 14,169. Nice scramble between Massive Green and North Massive. I returned back the way I came out. I then headed to the summit of South Massive. I made it back to my car at about 2:30. It snowed a little during the morning, but nothing to turn me back. I only saw ten or so people throughout the day. This was a solo trip.

Massive Mania--almost  Sucess!

Last peak of the day, after hitting all the ridge points to the north, starting from the Windsor Lake TH. Bailed down the east slopes trail as thunder boomed and graupel moved in. Windy most of the morning, but still a great day on the summit ridge.

Tour de Massive  Sucess!

Great way to climb Massive, includes N. Massive which rises 280 feet from the connecting saddle and if it were ranked would be the 5th highest in the state.

Nice climb - 2nd of 4 on our "marathon" week in Colorado - beautiful state. Photo61Guy's flatulence problem on Elbert seemed to have remedied itself today, PTL.
