Had to call off my Century Climb of Grays Peak.
I was planning on celebrating my 100th climb of Grays Peak (14,278') with my SO, my brother, and his wife. However, when I called my brother, who lives in the mountains, this morning, the report was rain with the possibility of snow up high. The conditions might not have stopped me if I was going alone but I called off the climb because the others were not interested in a miserable day (nor very experienced with bad weather up high).
I may retry next weekend, albeit by myself, as both my SO and brother will be on trips away from CO.
Oh well - it's not like the Olympics where you only have one chance every 4 years. I guess I don't have to start over at 1 - just wait a few days.
Called Tim on the phone last night - he seemed to have fun on his climb even though the summit was a bust. I called to see if he was concerned about Frances moving in. He says every one came to his area to get away from the action - so, he's not worried.
