JURY SUMMONS

Courthouse Mountain - 12,152'. Standard Route. 3.6 miles round-trip. 1,800' gain.

It took two years of 14er obsession for me to realize how much I was missing out by avoiding 13ers and 12ers. Silly me! I had a multitude of friends recommend an ascent of Courthouse Mountain, the most prominent peak in the Cimarron Range of Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Being only a short drive from Gunnison, where I attend college, I set out for a climb after a morning genetics lecture. I cannot emphasize how beautiful the Cimarron area is"so many aspens and unique 12ers and 13ers. Certainly a place to check out if you haven't yet and definitely a place I intend to return to.

Here is a link to the full write-up on my blog complete with plenty of photography: Jury Summons

...And super pictures, Skylar! LOVED the 4th from the last shot.

Question -- is there a way to view the pics in your report larger? Most were quite small and I didn't see a way to click on them to enlarge them, so couldn't really view them very well. But great report! The SJ's never fail, do they?!

Doug, you've commented and said really nice things before on my trip reports”I sincerely appreciate that. Before, I would have all pictures full-sized that would cut up the blocks of text, but par the recommendation of a writing professor at my college, I'm trying to make it look more magazine-like. I'm not sure if Wordpress has a way to make the pictures "clickable" so they can be seen full-sized independently of the rest of the blog, but I'm trying to get something like that to work out. Thanks again for being so friendly!
