Melissa and I had just made plans for a two day trek up Longs Peak, but it looks like that'll be a no-go now. Friggin' August, and we already have six inches on some of the peaks.
Longs
Think I'm still gonna attempt to run the Greys/Torreys double the weekend after Invihash though. Also might get one more shot at Quandry, and might take a day off work for another hike through the Collegiate Peaks, but that'll about wrap up the summer climbing season.
Long's is the only 14er I've done. It was a hell of a hike though. I wonder if they keep those lists of people who summit, my name would be around July of '87 somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI drove by Long's yesterday on my Harley and said "Shit, that's way the hell up there. Sucks to be Brownie!" I twisted the throttle a bit harder knowing there was a beer waiting for me at Fort Collins.
ReplyDeleteOn a totally unrelated note, it's been in the 60s here in St Louis for the past few days. You'd think I'd have brought 100s back from Iraq with me, but NOO, I have to bring storms, and cool weather, and clouds. I LOVE IT! None the less, keep us posted on your travels!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have snow than 2 months of 100+ degrees.
