"2nd of 9 high points hit on a solo ridge ascent of Mt. Princeton. Climb was not super fun -- steep and stiff due to a morning freeze after some days of fall snowmelt. But the water of Merriam Creek was sweet and looking down the chalk cliffs was incredible. Very worth it. 7th of 9 high points hit on a solo ridge ascent of Mt. Princeton. Nice unranked 13er and a good checkpoint. Incredible view of Antero. Was very happy to reach this point but I started feeling pressed on time at this point so I had to lock in to see if I'd meet my turnaround time. 9th and final high point hit on a solo ridge ascent of Mt. Princeton. I arrived 6 minutes shy of turnaround time and was gassed. Had a snack and layered up and headed down at my turnaround time. Ran into another climber for the first time that day on the final push, I ran into him changing his tire later by the radio towers on the 4x4 road on my way down and was offered a ride down. Shoutout to Nick for making my day with that favor. Happy trails to him." — benyboy • Oct 25, 2024
