Cameron Pass,12-02-07

A not so fun zone on the way out. Looks good,but its south facing and had rocks underneath.
Myself,gettin some.

A beautiful toeside slasher turn that Ellis threw up. The man can make some BIG slasher turns. Good volume. Powder everywhere....

Ellis and I,doin a pit test. Conditions not so safe. At all.

Big Nate(tailgate),splitboard star of Return to Schralptown,realizing that he's left his bindings back home.
We had originally planned to ride the terrain to the left here,but Nate then realized he had left his bindings in Ft. Collins. So we decide to ride the diamond as usual. But still good.

We decided to take a(nother) trip up to the Diamond today. It was hammered pretty good by this last storm. Estimates were around 8-14''. Avalanche danger was also considerably high. After digging a couple of pits with team Thrillhead Creations we decided to stick to the lower angled terrain. Turned out to be a pretty smart decision. Someone got buried by a slide in the Montgomery Pass area(within eye sight of us) while we were there. We ran into all sorts of search and rescue on the way down the canyon. Last i heard,the person had CPR performed on him/her and,i think,was breathing. Scary. Anyways,it was an awesome day with many fat facial,cold facial shots on the S. shoulder of the diamond.

Humboldt Peak,Sept 07

Humboldt Peak,14,064 ft.

Our campspot,at the top of the trail,just beyond the sign.

Four fat marmots chillin on a rock behind my tent.

Lookin out towards Westcliff.

Kent,on the ridge above the north face of Humboldt.

Our camp was down by the far end of the smaller lake.

On the Northwest Couliour route. It was pretty chilly....and windy.....and pretty exposed.

Crestone Peak.

Crestone Needle and Peak in the background. Both 14ers(14,000ft..)

Crestone Peak to the right,behind cousin Tom. Its the 8th highest peak in Colorado and one of the hardest 14ers.

Crestone Needle(big one at left) and Crestone Peak(at right,hard to make out.)

The stream that drains out of the top lakes,where we got our water for four days.

Perfect view of the Crestone Needle,behind the tent.

Humboldt is the big,broad one,on the right. Not in the clouds.

We went looking for lunch,on the way to the Sangre's,and came across this place. We had to stop by here. This is the super classy part of Pueblo. It was located right next to the log loob. Seriously.

Humboldt Peak is located in south central Colorado,within the Sangre De Cristo mountains. Its the states 37th highest peak,at 14,064 feet. It was my first (successful)climb of a fourteener. We tried Crestone Peak the day before,on Sept. 11th,but were denied. It was a very tough climb,considered one of the hardest fourteeners.
