55mph winds made this climb chilly
Good boot pack and a well defined route made this climb fun. The wind made it a bit cold (-30 or so wind chill), but overall it was a good day on Quandary.
Did this one in snowshoes and came down in very deep powder on an off-trail route back to the car -meaning I lost the trail at the bottom. =)

Rematch
This was a very straightforward winter climb however I began it already feeling a bit flu-ish. By the time I was less than 75 ft from the summit, I was having an extreme stomach flu and fever and needed to flee the mountain quickly. It lasted for days so I didn't have the chance for a quick rematch. I will this February though. :)

East Ridge - Winter
Nice day out with the wife. Started in the clouds and cold while later breaking out into sun. Was a little surprised at the steepness on the ridge in places.
Nice way to revisit Quandary after the West Ridge. Lot's of folks out but a great day overall.

Dad's final 14er
Easy slopes, nice finish.

First 14er!
A great first summit - quite cold and windy (don't know what I expected in November..), definitely won't be my last...

confusion on quandary
Went looking for the West Ridge in a blizzard. Got off route and found a few icy gullies that eventually dead ended. Settled for Cristo Couloir. Was a fun day!

A night climb...very easy

Leah's first 14er
Looking back now, I wish I'd have chosen a more exciting 14er to take Leah on for her first one.

Cold and windy East Ridge
Birthday hike :). I wasn't moving very fast since I flew in from OC the previous day. Clouds were threatening all day and the last 1000 feet had very low visibility and high winds (60mph). I actually turned around right before the summit since the wind became unbearable and there was zero visibility. Close enough though, so I'll consider it successful :-)).

Easy day
Never thought I'd be climbing peaks this late in the year. It was a really easy day on Quandary and the views were great. This most likely will wrap up the season.

Over and over
Great training peak and close to home, so climb this one about once every other month. With changing seasons and weather, it never looks quite the same.

Cristo Couloir
Hiked up the snow covered road and camped at the base of the couloir. Snowed on during the night and a little bit windy but cleared off the next day. Snow got mushy later in the day so we climbed on the rock for a bit. Beautiful climb with my dad and a great glissade.
One of many climbs, ski descents, etc. This particular day in summer '09 was crowded! Holy Cow! Nice day anyway, very early start had me beat most to the top...

East Slopes
My third 14er in CO. The place was like a zoo, shared the summit with at least 50 people. Great views but not my favorite hike, the downhill was killing my knees.

Standard East Ridge in WinterPretty clear day with moderate winter temps. Would much rather climb the west ridge, or some of the colior routes on the south face in the future.
