Day Two – Five Peaks Summited!
The team is making great progress! Day two and they’ve already bagged FIVE peaks.
- Grays Peak: 14,270 ft
- Torreys Peak: 14, 267 ft
- Mt. Democrat: 14,148 ft
- Mt. Lincoln: 14,286 ft
- Mt. Brosse: 14,172 ft
Friday’s climb of the Greys and Torreys twofer was successful. Today the team tackled Mt. Lincoln, Mt Democrat and Brosse starting this morning 6:15AM and not a minute too soon. The team had great weather but typical capricious Colorado weather thunderstorms started just as they were heading back to out basecamp.
New guest climbers have been joining the team each day! Many kids have come out in support and climbed with Matt. They’ve even had people who have seen the story drive out to climb! They are taking our first and only rest day tonight and tomorrow in lovely Poncha Springs.
A grueling Monday is scheduled with Mt. Tabeguache (pronounced tab-a-wash) and Mt. Shavano on tap. Those two are 5,600 vertical feet and 11.25 miles round trip. A 3AM alpine start with head lamps is planned as some unstable weather is predicted.
Rest up, team!
