Mt Bierstadt

My brother, Tyler, and I climbed Mt Bierstadt today. It was cloudy when we started, but the weather held enough for us to summit. But we were only on the summit for about 5 minutes when we started hearing thunder, so we packed up quick and headed down. Not even half way down we saw lightning, and soon after it started to hail really hard! It hailed for a good 20 minutes on the way down, then turned to a steady rain. Needless to say we were soaked by the time we got back to the car. It was Tyler’s 1st 14er, and we had a great time, hail and all! We brough Seranno, too, her first, and she did great, too! We learned a lot, and cut it a little too close, but had a great time!
