1st Winter 14er

I successfully summited my first winter 14er today.  Quandary Peak  14,301 on my GPS.  3 hours 56 minutes moving and another 2 hours trying to find some O2.  I still didn't think this was a difficult as cycling up Mt. Evans on my road bike.

 300 feet to go and definitely the toughest.  The wind almost blew me over a couple of times.  The ridgeline hiking up was absolutely awesome.

 The view walking back down wasn't too bad either.  On my hike back down I started wondering why nobody has invented the Mountaineering Slide.  It would make the walk back a lot more fun and a heck of a lot faster.
