One of the advantages of being at DU is you get to go hiking in the mountains.  Over the past few years I have been hiking/backpacking/scrambling up some of our 14ers.  I have no intention of doing all 54, but, in case anyone cares, as of September 2004 I have done: Snowmass, Grays, Torreys, Bierstadt, Democrat, Quandry, Challenger Point, Kit Karson, Harvard, Columbia, Elbert, Yale, Uncompaghre, and Crestone Peak.  Below are a few photos from climbing Crestone Peak.
