14'ers
Fellow maggot Marmot, is in the process of bagging as many of CO's fourteeners as possible this winter/spring/summer. He's done five and Sherman is on his hitlist for next weekend. I will try to get him to post his video footy on here. Dood is busy with Grad school though.

I'm down with the 14er thingy, lots of fun. This year I'm planning on trying some of these but certainly not all, depending on snowpack. I usually get about 3 or 4 in a year, you don't have to tell me I know I suck.

There's a route on Castle peak detailed in Dawson's Colorado Backcountry Skiing that I must do. I was flipping through the book a couple weeks ago and once I saw that line, I knew it had to be done. Can't remember the name, but it must be on the E side. Awesome looking coulior.

Mt. Sneffels
Mt. Bross
Lot's of stuff in the Gore and Elk Ranges
