blanca peak

Made it to the summit of 14,345 foot Blanca Peak on Friday. Took a lot longer than I expected, the total round trip time was over nine hours (that includes a half hour on the peak to celebrate with a cigar and a PBR). It's a hard hike if you don't hike into Lake Como the day before. O'Day has a good trip report here. My 24th 14er, and the 45th time I've hiked to the top of a 14er.
