Recently, a friend of my brother's (He's in LA taking classes at Biola and this is one of his friends there) started sliding/falling down a mountain while climbing it and stopped 20ft away from a cliff...

well read it for yourself at his site...

Anyway i'm sure he got the scare of his life!

Yeah

Anyway here are the "14ers" (14 thousand feet) that i've climbed...
Grays This one is the tallest i've climbed...also being the tallest on the continental divide...and the 9th tallest in colorado...
Evans
Bierstadt

I almost climbed this one (we got up halfway) but the weather turned bad Yale

My mom made this climb when she was in her college days...it's a climb that you are recommended to do with equipment but she didn't...(she now doesn't do crazy stuff like that because she has kids) Torreys peak through Kelso ridge (BTW the Kelso mountain is named after a great grandpa of mine...my middle name(Kelso) is also named after him)

Anybody else around here enjoy climbing 14 Kers? (i just do them when i'm visiting grandma and grandpa)
