"Slogged my way up. Kept the time respectable. Pushed my bike up and locked it at Goat's Eye chair lift. Took to the slopes. One snow patch to cross. It was overcast but I could still see lots of the neighbouring mountains." — BertB • Jun 20, 2021
"Got an early start to beat out the thunderstorms predicted to roll in as early as 10. Traversed over to the east peak and it was a bit spicier than expected, but a good chance to practice route finding and class 4 scrambling for when I finally make my way to the hardest 14ers. Snow is almost all gone with just a couple of unavoidable fields. Neither traction nor floatation necessary but you still might find slick rocks so watch your step.

"Sparrowhawk for sunset. Planned to hunker down for a few hours at the col in the weather shack to go up Read's in the early morning for sunrise, but sadly someone left the door to the shack open and it was mashed in concrete snow! So, we up to the summit we went and then we turned our asses around to get back to the car at 1 AM and got home around 3 AM. Always an adventure, happy to have avoided the poopy weather that's forecasted for this weekend." — hollywilliams • Jun 19, 2021
