Climbing with Bob Banner Photo

The Colorado section of the site includes climbs for all the state’s peaks over 14,000 feet (14’ers), repeats by other routes and lower elevation climbs.  The reports are cataloged geographically by range.  Climbs over the past 4 years generally are Class 3 or greater and include photos.

The Colorado portion of the site was originally written in chronological order.  However after completing the 14’ers, the continuing volume of new climbs began to make sorting through the climbs an arduous process.  So I’ve resorted to geography but with one downfall. The narratives may now appear a bit disjointed with regard to the experience of the writer at the time of the climb.  Twenty years is a long time and one learns a great deal about climbing over such a stretch.  So, please bear in mind you are looking at segments along a continuum of climber development in which I have intentionally retained mention of the neophyte blunders and journeyman errors to illustrate the learning experience.
