My kids on the summit of Handies, 2005
One more time, with Jed Diem, summer 2009...no mas, I hope!
6. Yale, 8/17/96.
View of summit boulders on Windom. Note climbers on summit.

View from the flanks of Sneffels. Great climb, tiny amount of exposure, snow in the couloir.
8. Sneffels, 8/20/97.
9. Princeton, 8/24/98. 3:08 up, 2:30 down.
View from the summit of Uncompagre. The route I took went around to the left, then up a gully on the backside. Had to flee quickly from a storm.

View of the summit of Antero.
18. Antero, 8/17/04. From 10,800', 3:35 up, 2:30 down. Easy climb but tough 4-wheel drive.
19. Grays....when? Done it, though.
"20." Misery--OK, "Missouri". summer 2008. Got above 14K, but no summit--careful of the notch in the ridge, 100 yds from summit. I was alone and bailed.

20/21. La Plata, 8/21/10. From Winfield TH. 8h 32m (4:40 up, 3:34 down). Not much fun climbing several hundred feet of boulders at 13,000 ft. My swan song?
