Vagabonding around Colorado and Elsewheres
Adventure
Shoeshowing in Mueller
Feb 10th
Sunny Snowshoeing
The last Sunday in January, I took the new snowshoes out for a stroll on the backside of Pikes Peak. I attempted to head up to the crags, but ran into vehicle trouble when 4-wheel drive went out. So instead, I made my way back down and hiked around Mueller State Park.
Climbing – January at Shelf and GoG
Jan 22nd
Crack Monsters
In Middle of January some more climbing was done. The first obstacle to overcome was me being trapped at work on a Saturday for a IT cutover. Things didn’t proceed well and Saturday became a complete washout. That night, Ben and Amanda showed up and we got ready for a trip down to Shelf road on Sunday morning.
Christmas at Home 2011
Jan 18th
Family Fun
In December, I headed home for Christmas again to much delight. This year everyone would be home, and everyone would have lots of fun. All the fun was made possible by a company-wide shutdown that let everyone take time off and not come back way behind on work.

North Table Mountain
On December 11th on a snowy tundra laden day, I went up to North Table Mountain outside of Golden, Co. The small rocks cliffs of basalt get nice winter sun and produced some nice warming temperatures on the rock.
Mt Bierstadt: Front Range 14er
Nov 3rd
Snowy 14er
Saturday 29th, I climbed Mount Bierstadt with Kyle Barnoff. This was a very late season, if not a winter attempt on a 14er. Not knowing that this was going to be the first 14er for Kyle, it turned out to be a memorable one none the less.
