A more rugged hike than I remembered from my first climb 19 years earlier. A repeat for me, but my daughter's 14er finisher. A sunny if occasionally windy day. Lots of company, of course. About 7.5 hours overall, including a big summit celebration.

but (notable quote 1) "no 14er is easy". An unrelentng ascent from the Leadville side. I was unsure if we would make the top (notable quote 2) "ascending is mandatory, summiting is optional."
Hiked with Brian. Added Gemini and Sheridan to make it a good day.

Freezing first CO 14er
First successful summit of the Rockies! 2nd 14er ever... -15F or so with wind chill... Very windy on the ridge, made everything exposed hurt until we became numb. Lots of snow to play in on the way down!!

Two-fer
Summited Sherman from Iowa Gulch after summiting Mt. Antero on a fair weather afternoon while everyone else was heading down. It was my 10th 14er summit achieved on 7 hikes during my 7 day stay in the area.

3rd Fourteener!
Went up the Fourmile route, and included Sheridan and Gemini. Perfect day to be out. On Sheridan and Gemini we had total solitude; Sherman was a total assembly line. It was still good, though, with amazing views in every direction.

All Tenmile/Mosquito Range 14ers in 31 hoursThe final summit in my completion of all of the Tenmile/Mosquito Range 14ers in 31 hours. I didn't like the looks of the skies, but the weather held.
