Colorado Fourteeners

    There are 55 (or 54) peaks higher than 14,000 feet in Colorado. These peaks are known affectionately as 14'ers, in honor of their lofty height. When I moved to Colorado in 2000, I decided to try to attain the daunting goal of hiking each one of them. While none of the 14'ers require death-defying feats of mountaineering, climbing all of them is guaranteed to turn you into a seasoned mountaineer. To help encourage me on my way to my goal and share the fun with friends, I've compiled several progress tables and trip reports for my various climbs. Even if you are not a climber, I hope that you will gain a taste of Colorado's 14'ers through my experiences and pictures. 

Most recently climbed peaks:

Pikes Peak         June 14, 2008 La Plata Peak     August 23, 2008

Trip Reports                                        Contains many trip reports with pictures, narratives, and some route information.

Climbs in Chronological Order           Follow my progress in climbing each 14'er by the 3000 foot rule (What is the 3000 foot rule?)

List of All My 14'er Ascents                Includes information on route taken and who I climbed with (including peaks without a 3000 feet gain)

Summit Panoramas                             I've begun a new effort to document the view from the summit by panoramic pictures.

Views of 14'ers from other 14'ers    Another new effort that I'm working on -- should be interesting.

Other 14'er Links                               Want to find more 14'er web pages and trip reports? -- I'm starting to compile a list

Other Hikes                                        There are many other mountains and trails that are just as beautiful as 14'ers -- these are my other trip reports
