Mt. Evans to Mt. Bierstadt via the Sawtooth Ridge, July 8, 2012

Summit Lake below Mt. Evans (14,264 feet)
On our way to Sawtooth Ridge route—still sunny above us
Mt. Bierstadt (14,060 feet, far left) via Sawtooth Ridge (center)
With clouds building, Tim climbing Bierstadt for 7th time
Greeter near top—yellow-bellied marmot
With granddaughter Maren, celebrating her 6th fourteener summit (Evans in background)
Clouds closing in on us; Abyss Lake below
Dense fog precedes full-on brutal storm
Maren and her dad, Joe, survive thunder, lightning, hail, sleet, snow, exhaustion
