Are you a Fourteener bagger? My wife and I have climbed about 15 of
them. Most had significant electrical activity and we always try to be
on our way down well before noon.



I've climbed them all and am working on climbing all of them in winter.

Glory!


That is great. Which did you find the most challenging?


Everyone asks that question. By standard routes maybe Pyramid, Wetterhorn,
The Bells, Crestone Needle. I think rotted rock makes it more dangerous
(hence "challenging"), it depends on what one considers a challenge.
Did you know some people have run up 14 of them in less than 60 hours
(virtually non stop) without using a car or bicycle? One guy is attempting
to climb them all self powered.

Amen!
