I had a busy week June 24, 2013 climbing three of Colorado’s major 14, and 000 foot mountains. I have climbed all 58 of the 14ers but wanted to go back to each of these for different reasons. I hope you enjoy the videos.<\/p>\n

Holy Cross via the Halo Ridge<\/h3>\n

I summited Colorado’s Mt. of the Holy Cross, doctor<\/a> 14,005′ on June 24, 2013 via the Halo Ridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Halo Ridge is not the standard route as it requires substantial rock scrambling and a long ridge climb of 2 miles above 13,000 feet. I descended using the normal North Ridge route making it a 13 mile day with a 5420′ elevation gain.<\/p>\n

I was glad to have perfect weather for this day.<\/p>\n
