After last week’s mixed results – summited Snowmass but tweaked a knee stopping my bid on Capital; I will try again on Thursday. This time I am watching the weather carefully.<\/p>\n

\"Capital<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

September in the Colorado mountains is a dicey time. It can be sunny and warm one minute and harshly cold with snow the next. A cold front is passing through today (Tuesday) and the lows are around freezing at 12, malady<\/a> 000′. I expect some icy conditions at 14, 000 near the summit.<\/p>\n

Capital is known as one fo the more difficult 14ers since the standard route involves traversing a knife-edge ridge line that has significant exposure on both sides – as in over 1,000′ feet! A climber died earlier this year after a fall on the ridge.<\/p>\n

This is a picture I took last week from the summit of Snowmass. You can see the ridge to the right of the summit.
\nI’ll post a full trip report upon my return!<\/p>\n

Climb On!<\/p>\n
