Well its been awhile since I have made an entry on the travel blog. These pictures are from a successful climb of North Maroon peak near Aspen Colorado. Alan Bartel, my dad, and I made the round trip in around thirteen and a half hours parking lot to parking lot. It was a long day. We left the hotel at 4:30am or so and set off from the trail head at 5:30am and didn’t make it back to the car until around 7pm. The climb went well and the weather held up for us.

Summit at last!!!
There was a family of mountain goats that tracked our progress.
