Climbing the Mountains and Hills of Larimer County and Beyond
If you've stumbled on to this site, welcome. If you think it sucks, you're completely right. I'll keep improving it as I go along.
What will you find here?
Living in Loveland and attending classes at Colorado State, I don't have a lot of time or money to drive down and climb the state's biggest mountains each time I venture into the wilderness. But I've lived like that for all of my 19 years and lived just fine with the smaller mountains and peaks of RMNP. I've taken upon the task of climbing every peak, mountain and inconspicuous hill in this county, not just the popular ones.
So to help my climbing brethren, I've decided to make this site to document my ascents of the obscure and unknown. My hope is this site will be an encyclopedia with a whole lot of pictures. Heck, I could probably write a book...but no one would buy it, let alone publish it. Plus this is free for everyone.

This isn't my only little corner of the internet.
-You can read my horrible opinions and other aimless discourse on the 14ers forums (you also get to see my peak list, don't make fun!)
-See some of my prior contributions to the climbing world at SummitPost
-Find my inner mountain nerd on Lists of John and Larimer completion map while you're at it (Still a lot of yellow markers...)

I climb with a point n shoot digital camera, my photos are far from professional
But hey, I'm not trying to be an artist. My philosophy on SP was to take pictures people would find useful, not crowd the server with umpteen shots of the Keyhole. I'll get a nice camera at some point, but until then just deal with the crappy composure. A lot of these pictures will be the only ones on the internet for certain destinations. For example, have you ever seen a picture of Marigold Lake (NOT Marigold Pond) in RMNP? You have now.
That said, I have taken a few nice pictures with that old piece of junk. Enjoy.
