Some days, you have it....some days you don't.
Last month, I didn't have it and La Plata chewed me up and spit me out.
It had nothing to do with weather or any other outside factors... I simply got gassed.
Four weeks of training made all the difference. It didn't hurt that there's been a pretty big snow melt in the mountains since mid-February.
This was a solo winter ascent in very non-winter like conditions.
There's little I can add to the video below.
It was nice to meet so many people along the climb! A great way to spend St. Patty's Day!
I was on my way down and met you around 12,500. I found some Yak Trax and left them on a stick near the trench just before entering the trees. Hopefully whoever lost them was able to get them on the way out. Bernie
Right on, Kansas. We met last fall at the gathering. Sorry I didn't recognize you, bro. Thanks for snapping a few photos. Hope you enjoyed my huffing and puffing on the video. Next time, I'll bring the Chub!
Nice vid, Mr. Helmet Cam! I must admit USA Keller and I were wondering who you were talking to on that last push to the summit, but we figured out you had a helmet cam. Congrats on 14er #34!
