This afternoon I received an email from the county highpointers list that indicated a private trip was being arranged to climb Culebra Peak and Red Mountain, a Colorado fourteener and centennial thirteener. They had 20 positions available for a day hike next week and I managed to nab one. In the past two years I'm not aware of another trip being allowed onto these [private] peaks, so I took the opportunity. It is on a Thursady so I'll have to use a vacation day to climb it... but I figure it's worth it. The [wanker] landowner is making us pay a hefty sum to climb, but again, I'm willing to pay it.
