We finished!! All the 14ers in the Mosquito Range are complete! Shawn was actually already done with these, but I had to catch up. This was a workout!!! Lots of snow since just last weekend, and it was windy on the north ridge. Here is a pic from the same spot we took last week. You can definitely tell there was more snow. We wore our snow shoes from this point on until we got to the ridge.
It was nicer weather than last weekend from the standpoint of sunshine! I was loving the sun to help keep me warm!!
This is taken from the top of Mount Cameron. We are looking at Mount Bross which is our last stop.
This is Mount Lincoln from Mount Cameron. It's the furthest one where you can see the rocky top intermingled with snow. We do this one next. It's only 0.5 miles away. It took us 30 minutes.
Here we are at Mount Cameron before we left for Mount Lincoln.
Here we are at Mount Lincoln!
We were happy to get this one knocked out so quickly, we took another pic looking the other direction.
Now, we are headed for Mount Bross, but first let's take a picture of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs! It's in the center way in the distance, and Silverheels (did last year) is the snowy peak on the left.
As Shawn said, we are playing connect the ridges to get from Mountain to Mountain!!
Here's a pic of Quandary. We did this one last year.
One more view of Silverheels. That was our first climb last year, and it was snowy too!
We made it! Here we are the top of Mount Bross. Whew!! Let's go home! Thank God for blessing us to get through this 6.5 hour day with great weather!!!
More views from Mount Bross. This mountain gets a little more sunshine, so not as much snow at the top!
As we took our last break on the way down, I just had to get a picture. This was such a gorgeous view. I could sit here and stare at this forever!
Until next week!
The pics are breathtaking and both of you look very nice.....
ReplyDeleteYou two must be pretty well conditioned to get to those altitudes....
Thanks to God that everything goes well.
