Quandary Peak Climb

        Elevation - 14,265ft
        Mountain Range - Tenmile-Mosquito
        Colorado Ranking - 13

After tackling Mount Sherman the day before, it was time to climb Quandary Peak. Quandary is located south of Breckenridge, Colorado just north of Hoosier Pass on HWY 9. This peak completed the Tenmile, Mosquito Range for Jason and I. It was Eric's 2nd 14er! This one is up hill all the way with scenic views of Mount Democrat, Lincoln, and Bross as well as Elbert and Massive along the route.
At about 06:00 we got up to a chilly morning, ate breakfast, and hit the trail.
