Hello everyone, I am going to go and spend the week-end at Twin Lakes and plan on summiting a couple of 14 ers. Does anyone feel up to the challenge?
Saturday it is going to be La Plata 14336' http://www.14ers.com/photos/peakmain.php?peak=La%20Plata%20Peak
And Sunday the big one: Mt Elbert (The peak not the lot, even though... :rolleyes: )

Conditions should be great!

Have fun and take your O2 tank :D .
I climbed Long's Peak a few years ago and was amazed at how hard
it got to take a step up at the top. Low pressure, don't ya know.
Be sure to take your camera and post a few pictures for us.
Try not to get lost this time! And be careful.
