Between January 2006 and January 2007, Aspen's Chris Davenport completed a remarkable journey, skiing all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks within a year. To successfully ski the "14ers" one must have a combination of big mountain skills including accurate avalanche forecasting ability, careful route selection, and inexhaustible tenacity. This is the story of Davenport's epic adventure, told through stunning photos of Colorado's most spectacular mountain ranges and his first-hand trip reports. To accomplish the goal, Davenport and his companions faced every condition from water ice to powder, from bluebird days to subzero temperatures and intense winds. He climbed over 200,000 vertical feet during his ascents and often the very difficult routes had minimal snow cover. The true scope of this accomplishment is known by only a handful of experienced alpinists and skiers. Lou Dawson was the first to climb and ski all 54 peaks, which took him 13 years to accomplish. Others have attempted to ski all the 14ers and have come close. This book is an extraordinary photo expose of all the 14ers in winter, while the trip reports give the reader a window to this rare accomplishment.
