14er

Well its been a little over a year that ive lived in Colorado and I finally hiked my first 14er. After camping at the base (which was still above tree line) and having a miserable night in the wind and rain we headed up Democrat.

Now for those of you in the know - I only climbed Democrat not Lincoln or Bross. For those of you Not in the know its a series of 3 peaks over 14000 feet that are often hiked at once. But after the sleepless night we decided one was enough.

1 down 51 to go. :)

** a 14er is any mountain with a summit over 14000 feet. There are 52 (or 56 if you talk to some people) in the state of Colorado. **
