The weather is still gorgeous here in Colorado. Even though the typical climbing season ends around September, we thought we'd get another 14er in before the snow really buries the mountain.
Instead of a more typical trip report (since Quandary is a very easy route), we put together these video clips of us running at 14,000 feet!
And in case you'd rather view photos, here they are:
Summary:
Distance: 7.04 miles
Total Time: 3:41:08
Moving Time: 2:25:25 (20:30min/mile)
Starting Elevation: 10,883 feet
Max Elevation: 14,258 feet
Total Climb: 3,371 feet
The trail had patches of snow and ice from the trailhead to the top, but nothing that wasn't manageable. We were able to run for a few sections on the way up, but even without the snow and ice, this is a pretty steep climb. It's an easy hike, but a steep run. The descent was fun, but we still had to watch our footing because the terrain would change from snow to ice very quickly.
Thanks foor sharing this
