Guest Post by Margaret

Greetings, dedicated blog readers. I’m Margaret, Joey’s other younger sister, here to tell you about our hike up Huron Peak, a fourteener (one of 54 mountains in CO above 14,000 ft) near Buena Vista. This was the first fourteener for Christine, Adrianne, and me, and Joey’s second.

Two Pitches and Buena Vista

We drove south into Boulder and up into Boulder Canyon looking to do our first Multi-Pitch climb of the trip, 'The Young and The Rackless'.  Usually when doing anything new climbing-wise, its wise to keep the climbing easy to minimise the time and risk in learning new things.  Unfortunately, the only multi pitch sport route in the area was a 5.9 that was originally rated a 10b since it was more difficult for shorter folks.
