#2017bestnine - it comes as no surprise all the photos that have been returned deal with the pursuit of high places using bikes or just my two feet. From L>R, T>B: (1 @vagabrown captures the finish of The Tour of the Highest Hundred at the North Boulder city limits sign, two months after I pedaled out, 105 mountains ago. I'm still in awe that it was such a success! YES!: Try it yourself! (2 @semi_rad's #bikeadvocacy shirt makes me the most popular kid whenever I wear it. YES! You should get one of your own! (3 On the summit block of Longs Peak! Totally spent after ascending a cumulative total of something like 31 miles in 2 months! About an hour later, I'd slip, fall, and terribly sprain my ankle - something I'm still recovering from! (4 Summit of Pyramid Peak, finishing up the Elks this summer - one of the last cruxes of the #highesthundred. Great scrambling on Pyramid and the Maroon Bells Traverse, which I did all in the same day, with Thunder Pyramid done the next day. (5 Going a little crazy topping out on Hagerman Pass out of Leadville to Basalt, carrying a bear canister some hundred miles twice to follow the Wilderness rules of Maroon Bells/Snowmass. Thanks @leadvilleoutdoors for having them available to rent! (6 Showing off my sleep system for the summer! Thanks @ultimatedirectionusa for the FK Tarp + FK Bivy and @Sierradesigns for the Cloud 800 bag! (7 Topping out @13,000'+ Mosquito Pass! Out of the Sawatch and into the Mosquitos! (8 #tbt of taking a fixed geared @intergalacticsurlybikes Cross Check up 14er Pikes Peak in a snow storm, 'cause that seemed like a great idea! Roundtree from Denver, stopping at Bierdstadt, Grays + Torres on the way home) (9 Showing some degrading conditions on top of Mt. Evans last September. Caught in a snow storm at night with little counting for warm clothes - totally sweet! Here's to getting up high #selfpowered once again in 2018! #longmayyourange!

Check out my blog (link in my bio) for the newest post, "Fastpacks From Hell: The Colorado Sierra Blanca Centennial Enchainment!" describing my fastpack of Ellingwood, Little Bear, Blanca, "Huefrano Peak", Lindsey, and California this past summer. Good mountain challenge for any of you hard men/ladies . . . #highesthundred #adventuresinexhaustion #colorado #14ers #13ers #centennials #fastpacking #mountainrunning #trailrunning #hiking #runwithud #UDhydratesme #uphillathlete #peakbagging #milesfromordinary #approachbybike @ultimatedirectionusa @lasportivana

I'm convalescing here at home at the moment - I'm wrecked mentally, but I'd like to share photos from my last day on Meekers/Longs on 9/16/17. Started on the trail with a light rain, that soon turned to.snow, and that snow was accumulating. I soon past many parties of people turning back from their own summit attempts, I knew it was going to be He'll up thete, but I persisted. This is a shot near Chasm Lake of Longs and the shoild r of Meeker. New snow is starting to cover the rocks and tundra; clouds are low. Windy. Time to start up the Loft! . . . #highesthundred #adventuresinexhaustion #colorado #14ers #13ers #centennials #fastpacking #mountainrunning #trailrunning #hiking #runwithud #UDhydratesme #uphillathlete #peakbagging #milesfromordinary #approachbybike @ultimatedirectionusa @lasportivana (at Longs Peak)

The DeCaLiBron loop, plus the two Centennials was a strange day. This is from the summit of Clinton, which gives you a bird's eye view of the enormous molybdenum mine that's both tearing down Bartlett Mountain, as well as digging a huge pit beside it. The rest of the day was dodging thunder snow showers and hiding out under cliffs. My beard stood straight up from the electrical activity in the air! Dangerous. Nothing in town was open, so I ate dinner out of the venerable Al-Mart general store. Rain on and off. Could be worse. 92 peaks down. . . . #highesthundred #adventuresinexhaustion #colorado #14ers #13ers #centennials #fastpacking #mountainrunning #trailrunning #hiking #runwithud #UDhydratesme #uphillathlete #peakbagging #milesfromordinary #approachbybike @ultimatedirectionusa @lasportivana (at Al-Mart General Store)

Early summit of Pyramid. Chill AF.

I'll take a guess and say that Cathedral is named for this ridgeline that looks like a flying buttress you'd find on something like Notre Dame in Paris. The exterior buttresses allowed the space inside to be opened up, allowing more stained glass windows, and light to envelop the interior. I believe Cathedral Peak's interior is solid rock and quite dark. . . . #highesthundred #adventuresinexhaustion #colorado #14ers #13ers #centennials #fastpacking #mountainrunning #trailrunning #hiking #runwithud #UDhydratesme #uphillathlete #peakbagging #milesfromordinary #approachbybike @ultimatedirectionusa @lasportivana (at Cathedral Peak (Colorado))

The Capitol/Snowmass/Hagerman linkup! Where to start? Fastpacked into Moon Lake - incredibly, found the trail that took me most of the way. Got there under almost a full moon, which made the landscape look quite alien for sure. A special place. There's no real place to camp, but I found a coffin-sized, flat-enough boulder to sleep out in the open in the Boulder field that surrounds the lake and extends in all directions. Only soul for miles. I heard Capitol Lake was elbow to elbow. A beautiful sleep and a predawn start up to Capitol Peak - I've never seen this lake in the sunlight! Adds to its mystery. After the crappy roadside bivvy on the last little slice of National Forest on the road that leads to Hagerman Pass outside of Basalt, this bivvy was ethereal. . . . #highesthundred #adventuresinexhaustion #colorado #14ers #13ers #centennials #fastpacking #mountainrunning #trailrunning #hiking #runwithud #uphillathlete #peakbagging #milesfromordinary #approachbybike @ultimatedirectionusa @lasportivana
