Howdy, folks!

Got all settled into the area just in time for the fires. I also already met Ben and Kim who are just awful characters. Wouldn’t recommend hiking choss with them ;)

Anyone interested in a little happy hour get together next week? Perhaps Tuesday in Ridgway? Could also be down to meet at the Music in the Park in Ridgway tomorrow.

Corbett Ridge for a first hike together is traumatic. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I truly am.

Welllllllllllllll, about that... Come say hi at the Ouray Mountain Rescue tent! Slightly less trauma than an ascent of Corbett. :lol:

You did this to me, Ben. I'll never forgive you. Great day.

I've done Corbett more than any other 13er. How sad is that? Total headcase over here. I somehow managed to convince OP Patrick and his fiancé to do more peaks too, not sure how I managed that.

Great news I found one worse than Corbett, East Storms east face dry. Let's go do laps!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been victimized by Ben on Corbett 🙋‍♂️

I'm almost always at the Depot on Tuesdays for live music.
