Quandary Peak

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

14er #4! This past weekend we camped at 3305m (10,843 feet) and then hiked up to the top of Quandary Peak. I survived with out any sore muscles or blisters since it wasn’t too long, but forgot sunscreen on my legs which led to a horrible sunburn on the back of my legs. I think this mainly had something todo with the large amount of snow we had to cross on the way up and down, but who knows. So while I’m recovering from crazy leg sunscreen with help from my Aloe Vera gel here is the fun info on the hike:
