THE BIG EVENT
Yesterday was Jill's birthday and we climbed a 14er!!!!
Date: July 21, 2010
Place: Mt. Democrat in Park County
People: Me, Lorraine, Jill, Paul (Lo's husband), Chase (my son), Roxie (Lo's dog)
First time 14 climbers: Lori, Chase, Lorraine
We started above tree line.
Kite Lake.
Jill giving the 4-0 sign.
Reaching the saddle.
Clouds are rolling in for our ascent to the peak.
SUMMIT!! Someone left a sign up there (wrong date-- it was the 21st). Jill is sporting a tiara : )
Birthday cake.
Chase actually had a tiny bit of fun with his mom : )
A little bit of a bummer that we cant see the panoramic 360 views-- but exhilarated none the less!
Jill holding up a sign her kids made.
Lorraine and Paul.
DESCENT:
Clouds on the continental divide.
Boys peed to the west coast, girls to the east coast : 0
Out of the clouds , but still a long way to go.
What is that? A body?
No, it was just Chase waiting for the elderly 40+ somethings to make it off the ridge. Hey, we are very protective of our knees.
Almost down.
After all that, we were still able to make it out for some sushi/tappenyaki
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!
PS: Tonight we are going to Denver for some karaoke.
Reminds me of that karaoke night from our first year of law school.
St. Patty's Day, Boulder Colorado, 1993
HAHAHAHAHAHA! We wore those tiaras to school that day : )
