In a couple weeks, I'll be trying to bag Pidgeon, Turret and then Jagged. I was looking for a route from Turret to Jagged and was wondering if anyone had...
Anybody done Longs in past couple of days. I just wonder what are the conditions on the top... ( Snow, Ice???)/??? I'm planning to do it this Saturday......
I about had enough of the Midwest since moving from Colorado Springs last year, and need to do a bit of climbing to get my head straight. I'm planning on...
Today I had a great time climbing Wetterhorn Peak. This was my 4th time to the top of this peak, and they have all been nice. Today I went through Lake City,...
Hi everybody: I took one week vacation starting at 11th of August to 17th. I drove up to Mt. Evans and Pike Peak, and I hiked up to Grays and Torreys Peak,...
I have come to the conclusion that it is going to be a long cold winter here. I went up Mt. Sneffels today and it was snowing. It was also snowing there on...

I'm pretty sure a "robot" posts these messages, and thus replying does no good. It's all automated... they join hundreds of groups at a time, send their one...
Hi guys, I have been kicking myself because I haven't been able to climb a 14er yet this season and I am afraid it is getting too late. Anyone have any...
Art - Bierstadt would be a good one. It is one of the easier ones, and, in my opinion, is even easier in the winter if you wanted to give that a try. You'd...
Hi Kristen, I guess I went through and deleted the "robots" before you had a chance - I still monitor the list, post occasionally, and delete troublesome...
Hi Kristen, Thanks so much for the info. If I were to try and make Bierstadt in the next couple of weeks, would I need the snowshoes and ax? What type of...
Hi Art - I honestly don't know what the conditions would be on Bierstadt right now. I can see Long's from my house, and it has had snow on it for over a month...
Why don't you do Mt. Bross? There's nothing to it. You can walk up a jeep trail most of the way. Jim McCutchan Baltimore MD (& Breckenridge in August)...
As part of my Masters in Library Information Science I must prepare a bibliography about the Colorado 14ers. This bibliography is for the use of adult hikers...
Mindy - Best of luck with your Masters project! Here are some answers: 1: 14er novel - The only novel I've read with 14er references is "A Lady's Life in the...
Due to almost daily "new members" popping up and posting advertisements on the message board, I am temporarily restricting membership to this group - we will...
Along that line, has anyone climbed the 13er, Meeker? Since it's up the street from me, it's always something I've wanted to do, but wasn't sure how long it...
... Depends on the route you do. I've climbed Dreamweaver on Meeker. It took a decent chunk of the day. There were four of us, we started around 6am, and ...
Am planning to do this peak this coming Wednesday, Oct. 20th. I was at Kite Lake last Sunday, and barring a major dump, there shouldn't be much snow to worry...
John, you must be the lone Democrat in Colorado Springs! ;-) Please send a (snow) report after you do it! Cheers! Alex coloradofourteeners@yahoogroups.com...
I have some extra lift tickets to Loveland. I am going to get a season pass at Keystone. These tickets allow you to go right to the lift line. There are no...
I began flying lessons on October 1, and am about to receive my private pilot's certificate. I flew to Telluride a while ago and after leaving Telluride flew...
I climbed Meeker in August via the Iron Gates route which takes you up the east slope and summits the east peak, which is the lower of the two meeker peaks. It...
