Mt. Harvard backpack

Attended by Jeff, Tim, Steve, Bob, and that one other guy who’s name escapes me.

Mount Harvard, in the Collegiate Range and reputed to be one of the easiest ascents in the whole state, is the only 14’er I ever climbed . It wasn’t technical, but it was high enough.  It’s the third highest in the state at 14,434′.  The air gets real thin up there.  Clouds came and went, the omnipresent threat of bad weather blowing in up that high was a bit nerve wracking, at least for me.  The feeling of exposure is intense.
