Mt. Princeton 14,197’

On the summit
Harvard and Columbia
The unmistakable hulk of Uncompahgre in the distance, maybe 100 miles away.
This shows the ascent route, following the summer trail. This was without question one of the most tedious climbs ever, with variable snow covering the talus below. The wind was usually a gentle breeze, but every once in a while it would pick up and blow me to the ground for bonus points.
Doesn’t look too bad from this angle:
Here’s some of my turns, looking back up the route. The top was variable, but there was a powdery middle and a corny bottom 
Looking at Princeton afterwards, from Highway 285. The relief of this mountain is impressive, and it’s a very aesthetic peak, but it’s not very interesting as a ski or even as a climb. Of the 54, this one ranks near the bottom.
