Peaks #25-28 Halfway Point of the Project!
Bross, Lincoln, Cameron, and Democrat.
Summit of Lincoln, 14,286′ highest in the 10 Mile / Mosquito and 8th highest summit in Colorado.
Start at 8am, Bross at 1030am, Lincoln at 11, Cameron at 1215, Democrat at 145pm. Finish 230pm. This was about the 4th or 5th time I’ve skied all of these peaks, so it was pretty straightforward.
Always in charge and getting ready to charge down Democrat, Peak #28.
The snow was great on Democrat and ok on the others. All in all a fun day with only a few wind bursts, and I got to relax on each summit for at least 30 minutes each on my Solo Day.
Democrat from the southeast – I would ski the fun southeast ‘Democratic Donkey’ couloir.
On Thursday I skied four more 14ers, bringing my total to 28 and reaching the halfway point of the ski the 14ers project. The ‘Decalibron loop’ dubbed by most people, is in the 10-Mile/ Mosquito Range. I called in the ‘Broslincamdem’ loop because that is the order I skied the peaks in for the day.
With these four peaks I was also able to complete this range and move even further towards the overall goal to ski every Colorado 14er in the same season.
Bross, 14,172′
Here are a few photos and I will get posts up on the ‘ski the 14ers menu bar for each peak as soon as time allows. The skiing off of Democrat was good while Bross was in less than favorable conditions and Lincoln was pretty nice off the top.
The line off Cameron was fun after dropping over from Lincoln and Bross.
Wow, this week since last Saturday I skied eight 14ers, so it’s tough to catch up on the writing and posting of photos right now!

Let’s keep it going: A small storm system comes through over the weekend I will resume the adventure next week!
Thanks for Tuning in,
