pricing the 14ers

Grabbed this article off the Gazette Out There blog, says the average hiker spends about $220 for every 14er. Really not sure how the good folks at CU came up with that number, I know that even with gas prices sky high I don't spend nearly that much. Six pack of PBR is about $3.50, pack of Philly blunts runs about four bucks, and post-climb grub and beers at a local bar might go around fifteen bucks. In fact, it would be pretty tough to spend over $200 on a trip since I always camp out instead of hotel it.
