| Grays Peak: 14,270 ft | Back to the mountains |
Climbed September 2, 1996 with my mom, dad and sister.
Also climbed May 29, 2004 with Tim and Aaron M.
Approaching Grays (left) and Torreys (right) in 1996.
My sister, mom, me and dad. This was my mom and my sister's first 14ers. Although
it's somewhat dark,
it is possible to make out the fact that I am wearing the exact same cotton/wool
Mexico poncho that I had
in the La Plata picture from two years before. I think by 1997 I finally adopted
the polyester/non-cotton
backpacking fashion.
