Route Climbed: Traverse from Sunlight Date Climbed: July 23 1999  Sucess!

A 9:30am thunderstorm chased me from the summit. Rode out a hail storm at 14k and returned to the mountain goats at base camp in Chicago Basin. These fellas would not leave me alone!

Route Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: August 31, 2001  Sucess!

Did not like this one as it is mostly boulder hopping. Steep scree field on the way down but you get down quick. Did this in combination with Sunlight which seemed easy after this one.

Route Climbed: Standard route from Chicago Basin Date Climbed: 8-19-94  Sucess!

After taking the Durango-Silverton train to Needleton and backpacking up into Chicago Basin, my husband, Jay, and I did both Sunlight and Windom on this day. As is the rule more than the exception, a storm built up by afternoon, just as we were summiting Windom. We took a chance and made it, then ran down to our campsite in the blinding rain.
