Getting to 20 Peaks completed
FOLLOW ME LIVE OUT ON THE PEAKS!
The magical hour.
It’s been quite a week, and today was a great way to finish my 4th peak in 7 days and my 5th peak in 8 days. We took advantage of fresh powder and seized on blue skies to summit and Ski Mount Sherman in the 10-mile / Mosquito Range. It’s been so darn windy all winter and I was hoping that the new snow as well as taking advantage of the leeward side of the peak would provide a reasonable descent.
Stepping to the summit of 14,042′ Ellingwood with Little Bear Peak in the distance.
I will have the new peaks and pages updated soon so thanks for following along! This week the weather is forecasted to deteriorate until next Friday or Saturday, so for now I will hold, rest and get ready to get back after it in a few days.
Summary of the past week:
#17 and #18 Monday March 21 Ellingwod (14,042’) and Blanca (14,345’)
Skiing the south face of Ellingwood 14er.
#19 Friday March 25 Columbia (14,073’)
The snow was pretty good on Columbia too.
#20 Sunday March 27 Sherman (14,036’)
Even the normally bare and scoured Sherman provided some healthy turns.
Thanks for tagging along and more to come!
Dr. Jon
