Day One: off the couch.

For some of us, this first day in the park would be the first swings of the year. Since it was pretty cold we hike to the far end of the park and had our way with the climbs at South Park with hopes of playing in the sun this day. It was kinda cold with the wind coming up the gorge. You couldnt ask for better conditions really. Good ice and good friends!!  Bluebird skies!!

Travel day january 21

After about the 2 or 3rd year,  the trip become rather routine . wait for the best flight and buy a ticket. [only to pay way extra for 2nd and 3rd piece of luggage] pack, arrive in Montrose, climb the next morning. This is like the 5th or 6th year and we have ( I have) never been delayed or bumped coming here.

Fast forward 2015. The forecast for January 21 was a snow event by mid morning in Alexandria. By the time I left DCA, my Chicago connection was delayed which pushed back my arrival into MTJ.  This snow event delayed flights across our area of travel. I contacted my travel mates with modern technology and everyone was delayed to different degrees of delyaness.....After all that, we roll in at 4pm and Greg at 7pm. Everyone in Good spirits: Lee jenkins, Marty Comisky, Doug Halonen, Scott Hatrsock, James Pasterchek, Greg Christopulus, Stephen MaCay, Piotr , Peter Smith from AK, Karl Slinginger, Ian,  and me. Going down to a crip 4 above.
