My first view of the summit. The sun hits the upper peak as dark clouds linger to the north.
I could see the storm build and fill in over the Arkansas valley toward Buena Vista, Co.
I took this picture from about 12,000 ft. in elevation. A nice shot of Princeton's southeast ridge and summit.
A well camouflaged Ptarmigan.
Still no low or threatening clouds over Princeton's summit.....yet.
I liked seeing the various spots of sun poking through the clouds and hitting the valley floor.
The clouds quickly began to build as I started up the nearly half mile ridge to the summit.
Mt. Antero is the highest peak in this picture. I hiked it during week 4. It's located to the southwest of Princeton.
Thank You to Greg & Catherine Hart for you donation and support.
Catherine asked me if I would hike my hardest peak in memory and honor of her brother Sandy. I was happy to!
In Honor and Memory of Sandy Sanders.
Looking back down the ridge I just ascended. I could not see the saddle.
A little farther down I spotted the saddle.
The trail to ....I think this is the way.
At times my visibility dropped to around 50 feet or so, which made the trail difficult to find at times.
A well deserved M&M break!
Looking across the Arkansas Valley to the west at Mt. Princeton and unnamed 13er's on both the left and right side of Princeton.
I took this picture of Mt. Princeton at the end of April when I saw it for the first time. A majestic looking mountain!
