A great scramble route. Our dog did all but the final summit pitch.

Great Climb
One of my favorite 14ers. View from the summit is amazing. Route can be kind of hard to find.

S.R. from Matterhorn Creek TH
Awesome climb, perfect weather! Drove straight from Denver after last-call at the bar for 1.5 day excursion, so unfortunately we didn't make it up Uncompahgre. Started below 10K due to vehicle limitations, so it was a really long day. I don't recommend this climb after last-call, LOL.

Fantastic overnight at the base of the Wetterhorn. Made summit bright and early. Checked our watches and decided to do the traverse over to the Matterhorn for a dual summit afternoon. Beautiful day.

Wow! What a great climbing experience I had on Wetterhorn—my 6th fourteener! Perfect weather and wildlife galore including a big white shaggy mountain goat encountered on the descent. The Class 3 pitch below the summit was great fun and really not that hard. The most enjoyable peak I’ve done to date.

Up the East Face
A fantastic climb. One of my favorites to date! The snow pack in the San Juans is really low this year making it easier to climb these peaks in early June.

Southeast Ridge
Had the summit to myself today. Used snowshoes in some places. The snow was a little sloppy later on the way down. This was a particularly rewarding summit since I was chased down by lightning near the prow when I was climbing with my brother over ten years ago.
