Colin, Matt and I climbed Thunder Pyramid on Friday and skied off of it... just kidding.
Colin and I went on to Cathedral on Saturday. Both writeups are here - Thunder and Cathedral
and here's some amateurish helmetcam footage. I welcome any suggestions to improve this -
Other 14ers.com members whose contributions went into this trip and the writing of this report... USAKeller, Matt, lordhelmut, Mark Obmascik (handle?) and Shawn (Rainier_Wolfcastle). Thanks all.

Nice job scoring two Centennials. They are certainly on my radar for this summer. Thunder looked easier than I've heard it described by others - more like on-par with Snowmass West Slopes?
...since I climbed the Snowmass W. Slopes route but I felt like this was a little steeper and more junky. The interesting climbing is very brief and close to the summit. Route finding will keep you thinking though.
Thanks, in turn, for showing me what Thunder Pyramid looks like without a bunch of snow.
You're breaking new ground, putting a little Darwin into the trip report section with the consistent ”Post Climb Meal” section headers. This is a big part of the day, and you've given it proper respect. I hope to see more of this.
In Leadville. It's probably been 6 years since I've been in that place. I miss Rosie's Brew Pub. Snow is looking thin, but congrats on 2 great Elk Summits. Talked to Colin on his way home and you could hear the relief in his voice. Prakash, our paths need to cross one of these days. I think I missed you by 2 minutes at Brian's place last month.
Your reports are always so much fun to read! Good to see Colin finally got Cathedral too. I'd say it's high time we get out again; let's make it happen
good to see old faces in the comments section... 6/11/2012 4:53pm
Ridge runner: Where have you been? Colin barely managed to escape with his life on this one.
Floyd, shoot me a pm if you're planning any more Gore trips. My schedule is probably more flexible than yours and I can likely make it work.
Matt, when I gave props to your Cathedral report I didn't realize I was giving props to del_sur. I didn't recognize 'Matt'. How have you been man?
USA, I would get out with you but your new gangsta avatar freaks me the hell out.
Monster / Jesse, thanks for the comments. The smartphone was put to solid use in finding cheap eats in Aspen.
Thanks for the pic. Nah no worries, we got enough sleep. When you said that your wife had gone over to Electric Pass Pk I first thought she'd traversed over from Cathedral. I thought that was hardcore.
Your helmet cam, considering I am doing that pk in the next few weeks was totally freakish. What a pile of rubble. Well done.
