Another 14er in the bag - Quandary Peak

Got early this morning to go climb a 14er. Steffen came with me and we chose Quandary Peak at 14, 265.

We hit the trailhead at 7:08 and powered past a lot of people to summit after 1 hour and 53 minutes. The first mile and a quarter is an easy climb, then elevation kicks up and you gain around 3,000 feet in the next 2 miles..

A quick stop at the summit for a picture.


Then we headed down over the boulders (there are a lot on this trail) and got back to the trailhead in 1 hour and 37 minutes..

Here are the stats from my Forerunner 60 showing around 2mph up and down..
