Notes |
| 3/20 |
White Rim |
Not quite the "White Rim in a Day" with Bill W and Mark O. |
| 5/22 |
Grays Peak snowboard descent |
Excellent snow conditions (the best I've had for any of my snowboard
descents) and a nearly continuous ride back to the trailhead made this a highlight.
With Mike B. |
| 6/7 |
Royal Arches |
My first 50CC! With Judy M and the Loobster. |
| 6/8 |
Snake Dike on Half Dome |
With Judy M and the Loobster. |
| 6/13 |
Double Mesa |
My first time for the double, done solo. |
| 7/17 |
Northeast Ridge of Sharkstooth |
Mark O and I had an awesome time on this route. This is the best
alpine rock climb I've done. I was psyched with my lead of the steep crack
on the third pitch which several friends had called 5.8. |
| 7/24 |
Mummy Mania |
A solo traverse of Chapin, Chiquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Hagues, and
Mummy. Unfortunately, no Rowes. |
| 8/7 |
Longs Peak "run" |
Up (2:20) and down (1:50) via the Keyhole Route as PPM training.
Done solo. |
| 8/12 |
Flatiron Quinfecta |
A fantastic day climbing in the Flatirons with the Loobster. |
| 8/22 |
Pikes Peak Marathon |
This was probably THE highlight for the year. I've never felt so
satisfied to have completed a physical challenge. I also don't think I've hurt
quite this much before. |
| 8/28 |
Tipperary Creek |
Did this super-classic mountain bike ride in Winter Park with Ryan M
and Stan J. Conditions were rainy, muddy, slippery, and beautiful. |
| 9/11 |
Brainard Lake Marathon |
Mark O somehow convinced me to do this 26+ mile run/hike from Brainard
Lake over Pawnee Pass and back over Buchanan Pass. It hurt. |
| 10/2 |
Canoncito run |
This not-so-spectacular 10-mile trail run/hike in the Sandias was special
because my brother Mike and I don't get to do enough of this together. |
| 10/16 |
Four Peaks |
Ran/hiked South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, Green Mountain, and Flagstaff
Mountain with Mike R. This probably wouldn't normally be a highlight, but we
did this in a beautiful snowstorm. |
| 11/16 |
Third Flatiron "run" |
Solo, unsupported, car to car in 53:45. |
