Well today I went for a climb close to home. I decided to try and take my mother who did suprisingly well. We started from the trail head at 7:15 and made our way up at a good pace for having her with me. trail head upper parking lot. my excited mother
After getting to the flat area below sloan lake we were in a little group of ptarmigans. ptarmigan

False summit my mother started getting scared of hights and she decided to sit back like 150 ft from the summit. You can see my mother wish she made it.

Back to the car and some shots of animas forks. Old mine house at Animas forks.

Glad you made it. Sorry your mom didn't. I was right where your mom was when a storm was coming and I didn't get to claim my first ever 14'er. That was 3 years ago and I still don't have my first. Congrats on your second.
Sorry to hear about your 14er misfortune 9/8/2011 11:25pm
