Mt. Elbert Climb (14,433 ft)
Morning sunlight on Elbert 
One of the three Clark's Nutcrackers that were stalking us... 
Our first view of a false summit of Elbert, around 11,500 ft 
Ptarmigans along the trail 
Looking across at the back of Mt. Massive (14,421 ft) 
Looking up at the false summit at about 13,300 ft 
Glancing to the north at Massive and isolated snow showers 
Slogging through lots of snow to another false summit 
The real summit FINALLY visible 
Our new friend Stacia rejoicing a little too prematurely 
One last push to the true summit 
Jenni with the summit in the background 
Stacia, summit in background 
Jenni and Stacia on the summit 
The obligatory summit group shot (I'm the goofy looking one) 
Summit Panorama 
Brian, Jenni, Lonny, and Stacia snacking on the summit 
A spectacular view off to the west of the summit 
An absolutely phenomenal shot of me

The city of Leadville 
Heavy snow falling below treeline (11,000 ft) 
Our last glimpse of Elbert, enveloped in snow
