Missouri Mountain

Last Saturday, Jeremy, Kevin, and I climbed Missouri Mtn. This hike is described by photos.
all my photos here

An overflowing creek forced us to attempt Missouri from the east side, a side we knew would be snowier than the west side we'd hoped to climb.

The reward for gaining the ridge, a view of Mt. Harvard (I think).

Tired but happy to debut the ice axe. 

Kevin climbs above the snowy couloirs.

Sunny summits, Colorado's greatest offering.

God man great stuff cannot wait to get back to it - looking at those pictures while looking outside at our 104 degree barren Vegas backyard was pretty jarring.
