SW Slopes  Sucess!

Great views on the way up! Steeper than I thought it would be, but a great hike!

Main summit from Halfmoon  Sucess!

Awesome, beautiful trip. Got a little standing glissade in on the descent which was nice. Great flowers. We got stormed off the top so we only spent a couple minutes up there but I'll be back to do the full circle tour another day. Marni, Turbo and Chris.

Standard Route  Sucess!

5th 14er in 5 days. Left at 5:30 am, arrived before 9am. Me and brother had the summit to ourselves for several moments with a good lunch and Paulaner beer. Glissaded down ~300ft from the ridge.

East Face Route  Sucess!

Via the Normal Route with my wife. Returned several times since to climb all of the other 14,000 foot points on the peak.

Neck-deep snow  Sucess!

I forget the exact date. I went solo, got off route in the woods on the descent and found myself up to my neck in snow at one point (with snowshoes on). I had a sickening feeling that I would be spending the night out, but managed to get out of the deep stuff and back on route. Whew!

Up the Southwest and down the East standard route  Sucess!

Just got to the top when a thunderstorm rolled in a chased us all the way down to the trees.

West couloir  Sucess!

We camped in the grand ampitheater at 13,000 ft. Next morning we went right up the west couloir, the summit is maybe 100 feet from the top of the couloir.

Massive Mania  Sucess!

My friend Keith and I completed Massive Mania, which climbs all nine of Mount Massive's summits, five of which are above 14,000 feet. We performed the route from south to north, starting at Mount Massive Trailhead and ending at Windsor Lake Trailhead. We were above treeline for most of the day, but the weather was perfect.

east ridge  Sucess!

Calendar winter ascent via the east ridge from Leadville Fish Hatchery. Took the broken Highline Trail all the way to 11200' with group of 7, then followed a fresh trench to treeline courtesy of legendary Ken Nolan and Co. Winds were moderate on summit with 15 degree temp. Great winter route. 10.75 hours total hiking time (13 miles/4900'), so it would be a much longer slog with no trench to follow.

Winter ascent.  Sucess!

Wonderful, frigid and snowy night climb with some friends up the South-West slopes route. Steep enough to slide all the way down!

Mount Massive Trail  Sucess!

Spent the day almost entirely alone as we encountered only one other person on a perfect day over Massive. ^^^^ ask her, she knows.

Eastern Slopes  Sucess!

The weather was strange. Normally one has to watch out of afternoon storms, but on this day the storms were in the morning and they cleared out by noon.

#24  Sucess!

Sadly, Massive was my only climb in 2006. A very long hike, that wrecked my knee for a while, and I had to wear a brace on hikes for a while afterwards. It was rainy when we started, but no lightning all day, could only see about 200 feet in any direction from the summit, but we were the only ones up there. A nice trail!
