Snowy Summit
Nice hike, poor weather. It snowed the night before. Started early in the morning and hit more snow on the way up and on the ground. Hit the summit and it must have been ~15 degrees up there and windy. No views but still a great bit of exercise.

My 20th & 21st
Grays & Torreys via Stephens Gulch. Great day with 19 other men from Christ Church Plano. 8 of us got the double, with another 3 or 4 successfully bagging Grays. Pretty hike down in the Gulch and fantastic views at the summits.

After Torreys Peak
Easy hike up to the summit. Summited Torreys Peak first via Kelso Ridge, that was the highlight of the day, awesome and fun scramble!
The hardest thing... was going back to the TH. I had to yield to the crowds going up. It took me almost 2 hours just to get back to the parking lot.
Other than that.. awesome morning!

Easy...
Getting buzzed on the summit by two F-16s was the highlight of the day. Otherwise, the crowds.....

Lost Rat
Elbrus preparation hike, 3rd time on Grays. I tagged along with some CMCers who are climbing Rainier in early July. We climbed up the Lost Rat, then over to the summit. There was a mountain goat hanging around the top of the couloir. The group split up at the summit. I did not go for Torreys. Lots and lots of hikers on a beautiful day.

not that easy with snow
Climbed in March 17th with not that big snow like other years, but from I-70, not from trailhead, and with snow on that road all the time.

Dead Dog Couloir on Torreys + Grays
Tagged Grays after climbing the Dead Dog Couloir on Torreys with Kevin (shknbke). A bit chilly on top but other than that, a beautiful day!

This was to be my first CO 14er when I tried it in Sept. 2011 in running clothes (gear hadn't arrived with me yet). Surprised for snow, drifts above my knees (not good for breathable tennis shoes), and white out. This time around, PERFECTest weather - light wind, cool temps, plenty of sunshine. Bagged Torreys also. Totally worth the 2nd attempt :)
