Trip Report:
This hike was all about my 13-year old son Luke's first winter* 14er. (* - yes, technically it was April, so not calendar winter, but winter conditions it was). He has grown and matured wonderfully in the last year and several months before our planned trip Ihad the idea that this was the year to let him give this a try. The first step was to see if he would be interested. That's the only way this would work. I brought it up to him and explained how I thought he could do it and how I would prepare him for it, and he was up for the challenge.
