Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What… is your name?
King Arthur: It is ‘Arthur’, King of the Britons.
Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest?
King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Myself and a few other Texans plan on doing the SW ridge on the 18th. Driving up from Purgatory that morning and planning on being on the trail by 6am.

Not 100% sure, but we will have a few 1st timers as well. I haven’t climbed any class 3 14ers, but have climbed The Grand (guided) and done the decalibron as my other 14ers. The route seems straight forward enough.

Most of us are in shape, but we are flatlanders also.

Good wit, thanks! By the looks of your climbing stats we might just see you up there :)
