[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bagged my first 14'er yesterday

No, not the arfcom kind...

Quandary Peak near Breckenridge, 14,265 ft.

I'm in pretty good shape, but my legs are really sore today.

Oh, I didn't really find anything "gentle" about the ascent, it was loose rock and steep. I guess gentle means you don't have to use your hands that much.

Just did the east ridge route. I live in Austin and am a total flat lander except on vacation.

Nice. Need to go do that one. Loose rock and steep is "gentle" around here.

I would love to do that, but I am to fat right now

We were just out there. I'd love to do the loop from Kite lake that hits Lincoln, Democrat and Cameron peaks.

I took this picture on Windy Ridge which is partway up Mount Bross. I hope the weather was nice for you. We had nothing but rain last week.
