I actually don’t have a ton to say about this day out there. It felt great to get some reasonable weather with only a few wind gusts from the northwest, and I was able to efficiently climb and ski all four peaks, including Cameron, which isn’t really considered an official 14er.
Always in charge and getting ready to charge down Democrat, Peak #28.
This gave me a total of 28 14ers skied for 2016 and the halfway point for all the 14ers this season!
Summit of Lincoln, 14,286′ highest in the 10 Mile / Mosquito and 8th highest summit in Colorado.
Nevertheless, I was efficient and even skied some off of Lincoln’s northeast face before climbing back up Lincoln and heading to Democrat. Photos of the day help tell the story.
The line off Cameron was fun after dropping over from Lincoln and Bross.
The Adventure continues, thanks for reading!
