This entry comes from alumnus Dennis Hesselbarth (MDiv, '87):

We climbed Quandary Peak, 14, 265' on August 13th. This time, the wayward bottle didn't escape discovery in the bowels of my pack. Not long after the summit photo snow squalls prompted a hasty retreat.

In contrast to the last few peaks I've climbed, Quandary was hopping with picas - their squeaks accompanied us as we trudged up.

Near the summit several mountain goats mingled with us.

One then seemingly guided us back down for several thousand vertical feet.
