Last week my buddy @mattrandall9 and I climbed Capitol Peak via NW Buttress route. This starts out as a 5.9 crack climb and after we felt comfortable enough to free solo the 5.0 to 5.5 sections with short areas of 5.6 moves before roping back up to do our final 5.7 sectioms before the class 4 catwalk to the summit. This was by far one of my favorite days in the mountains ever and such a great intro to alpine climbing . . . . #14er #14ers #gopro #capitolpeak #elkmountains #aspencolorado #Colorado #coloradolife #visitcolorado #roam247 #backpackermagazine #outsidemagazine #peoplewhoadventure #goneoutdoors #neverstopexploring #blackdiamond #hiking #climbing #rockclimbing #rockymountains #adventurenthusiasts #adventureculture #natgeo #outdoorproject #outdoorresearch #arcteryx #petzl
