Inspiration:
Back in 1985, I climbed most of the way up (13,750 ft.) Longs Peak in Colorado. Since then I have always wanted to finish a 14er climb but have never set it as a goal. In 2012 I will complete this goal.
How I did it:
Did a lot of hiking leading up to it and also a morning ritual of cross training. All the training made the hike much more enjoyable instead of brutally strenuous!
Resources, Products and Services that helped me:
www.14ers.com and the 14ers app for the iPhone was a great help in researching climbs, getting directions to trailheads and maps for the climbs.
Jordan and I would love to hike a 14er with you guys. You inspired us to Hike our first 14er last year!
Would love to go with you guys! Planning on doing the first one about the end of June 2012. Will let you know. Any interest in doing Longs Peak?
