COLORADO
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
TRIP REPORTS
AND PHOTOS
By Tim Briese
Over the past several years I have spent many wonderful days exploring the grandeur of the Colorado mountains. In September of 2000 I completed climbing all of the fourteen thousand foot peaks in the state. Following is a list of those peaks in the order climbed with the date completed. There are trip reports on all of these and many other climbs, and a photo library containing hundreds of photos taken on these climbs.
While these trip reports are intended to be informative and entertaining, and perhaps even inspiring, they should not be substituted for more complete climbing and route information available from guidebooks.
