Nailed the first 14er of the season over the weekend and posted the images in the Torrey's Photo Album. The weather could not have been better and I've come to the stark realization that my physical conditioning is in need of improvement. That's ok though because there are roughly 53 more Colorado 14ers out there waiting to be climbed. This is my 4th ascent of Torrey. As soon as I am complete with the next version of the Picasa Module I'm going to create a subdomain specifically for trip reports. It is my goal to provide a social network centered on the outdoor activities that I enjoy. In the meantime, enjoy the images. This was the first trip I was able to witness multiple minor avalanches on. It was also the first trip we encountered animals larger than rodents above tree line. The vegetation is extremely lush and there was a good deal of green higher than I am used to seeing it. I think this may be contributing to allowing the animals broader feeding areas. Good Stuff.
