14er TT: Castle Peak (28 May 2006)

(Last Updated On: January 20, 2015)

This is part of an ongoing series re-telling Brittany’s fourteener-skiing story. Look for the reports every Thursday, as part of a Throwback Thursday theme.

Castle Peak has special meaning for Frank and I as it was the first fourteener that we skied together. We were joined by Dave Bourassa, Mark Caveliero, and Nate. I don’t know if it was the line or the day or the people I was with or a combination – but, Castle stands out as one of my most favorite peaks that I have skied, even 8 years later.

Because of this, I actually wrote a throwback trip report for Castle Peak back in May. Make sure to check it out. How did Frank and I actually “meet”? Well, that’s in the report too. But, mainly, there’s just a lot of cool pics – Because, let’s face it, the east face of Castle Peak is a pretty fun line.

Here’s a few teasers of what you’ll see in the trip report:
