Winter ascent.
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
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
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.
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!

One of my favorites!
The views from this summit are still fresh in my mind. Loved it! Hiked the SW slope trail. The 14er's initiative group was doing trail work on it then, great work!

Good Hike
Left halfmoon trailhead at 8:30am, arrived on the summit at 11:15, took a nice 1hr lunch, then back to the truck by 3:00 in the afternoon.

From the Colorado Trail
Gorgeous meadow walking and wildflowers made this a delightful hike. Summit was in and out of clouds, but what a view every time it cleared out! Drained the last of our Yukon Jack on the summit :-(
My third 14er.

Fun day. Weather on top was perfect, spent almost an hour eating lunch.
Planned on doing the SW Slopes but ended up in the amphitheater where we hit the West Couloir right up the gut. A little longer but better scenery. Descended SW Slopes. Awesome weather and amazing views.
Overcast skies caused me to push a bit harder in an effort to beat the weather, but nature allowed me on the summit and even brought a bit of sun near tree line on the descent. Encountered parades of hikers above tree line, but hiked back nearly alone.
