hello all! My name is Brandi and I moved to Avon Colorado in mid September 2005. I have purchased my 14eener book and have climbed one in 2004. Although I have...
Hi Brandi, As far as when the climbing season starts, it's whenever you're ready. Many climb year round. I find the solitude of winter ascents a welcome ...
Brandi - I agree with Matt. In fact, I find that a 14er like Bierstadt in the winter is easier than many 14ers in the summer... it's nice to head straight up...
HI Brandi, I am in Aspen a lot and climb year round . I will be out of commission due ot surgery for the rest of the winter. If you are interested in the ...
Hi Brandi, Welcome to Colorado! If you are not a snow/ice climber, the season usually starts around mid-June, depending on how much snowfall there was during...
One of the closest 14ers to Avon is Quandry Peak and it's a great winter ascent and even better descent. Additionally I like James Peak (13er) from Saint...
I usually kick-off my 14er season climbing Grays and/or Torreys in mid- to-late May. The face of Grays holds a lot of snow late into the spring and is a great...
Hi Brandi, I have climbed all the 14ers in the state, but only in the summer. That doesn't mean I have never climbed in snow though as it has snowed on me many...
Hi everyone again - Thanks for the comments. I am a bit intimidated by trying anything in the winter but it does sound awesome. Ill look into the ones each...
Hi Brandi. My name is Leeza. I just bought a book as well and am overly excited to start climbing this summer. I have only done one and that was last summer....
Hi again all. It's apparent that many would like to extend their personal climbing season into the winter months, but don't possess the necessary skills (or...
... etc. ... events on ... deal of ... Matt, This sounds like a great idea. I work weekends but I'm sure there are plenty of folk who would love to attend...
I agree this sounds good to me. I know that in Ouray there are some ice climbing events--if you don't know Ouray is the host of the ice climbing festival in...
I would suggest the area around Glen Cove on the Pikes Peak Highway. The area offers much in the way of terrain and conditions, and will allow people to view...
Sounds like there's at least a little interest. Possibly one of our moderators/owners could enable the poll function and we can find out if there's enough to...
Unforunately, this group was started so long ago - back when it was Yahoo Clubs and not Yahoo Groups - that we don't even have polls allowed to us. It's not an...
Ok, I looked further into doing polls, and it turns out that polls cannot be activated if "your group allows members to hide their email address from the group...
Hello all - Nelson - I definetly agree with your wife that climbing not alone is always the best bet. Doesnt guaranty anything of course but seems smart. And...
Kristen, Thanks for checking. It's too bad we can't do this but having a responsive moderator is far more valuable than any "feature" could be. We'll figure...
I just wanted to say how right you are about that. I have never met Kristen, but she has talked with me for a bunch of years (it seems like forever, but in a...
Thank you Don and Nelson for the compliment. I've really enjoyed this group from the start. I also feel like I get more out of it now that I'm in my "child...

THAT is excellent news! Also, I can see why those of you who ski dont climb much in the winter. I tried skiing today for the first time in my life and all I...

Hello everyone - From the previous emails, I understand we can start climbing some fourteeners without ice axes, etc... in June. Does anyone want to try and...
I'm actually considering doing Holy Cross for Memorial Day. There will probably be some snow but if it gets too bad I will turn around (I'm an amateur too.)...
Are you going to camp? It's a long approach, and you'll encounter significant amounts of snow in places. I would definitely carry an ice axe at the very least...
