Hi all -
I’m in SLC, but come to CO often. I have around 18 14ers under my belt and did Whitney in a day. I’ve done some “easy” peaks in the Alps, Iliniza in Ecuador. I ran a 50k at the end of March, but my cardio has dropped a bit since then and I’ve been focusing on gym work and elevation gain, still a few trail runs here and there. I don’t want to paint myself as super fast because I am not haha I’m moderately paced out there, and I’m still coming from a lower altitude. I’m looking to do another one or two June 14th. I like a very early start. I sleep in my Bronco when I camp. I’ve done a few 14ers solo, but would love company. Belford/Oxford are on my list as potential for that day. I’ve already done Missouri. Open to other ideas, but prefer ones I have not done yet. Would anyone like to plan?
Partner for June 14

I would love to!
I have done a decent amount of mountain hiking this year but no high summits due to the early conditions.
Actually in New Orleans as I write this but returning to Colorado about June 10 and those peaks appear ready based on recent reports.

Just did Belford and Oxford yesterday, standard route is clear except for one or two small snowfields up Belford and a bit of continuous snow down the ridge to the saddle between them, I'm sure it'll be almost completely dry by the time you get there. It's a fun one, enjoy!
