 Elk Range 14ers minus Snowmass   

I'm in the midst of a weeks-long trip to Colorado working on 14ers and P2Ks and spent a week outside of Aspen camped in Lincoln Gulch. I was able to climb all the 14ers in the Elks with the exception of Snowmass due to some predicted weather. But, I got to do the Bells Traverse, Pyramid, Capitol, and Castle & Conundrum all as dayhikes. All of these were fantastic peaks, especially the scrambly parts on the tougher ones. Here is a link to my full trip report with descriptions of the routes and lots of pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iLp6uuH6aQVUHUrBA
