One thing I’m thankful for is I’m older (70) and did them all from late 70’s to the 80’s. I bought one pair of boots, Fabiano all leather with 1/2 shank. With two pair of gaiters, one low and one high, my feet never got wet and I never twisted my ankle. I frequently cleaned the exteriors of my Fabianos and sno sealed them. The inside I periodically washed with a ph balanced soap. This kept the leather from breaking down from salts. Today all boots I see are composite construction and appear to be throw away. The plastic ones are more technical and designed for ice and snow work, but also with artificial composite interiors.

The list is very helpful!

Great breakdown. Love the content. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Love your vids. I am keeping them all for my training for Everest base camp trek. Thanks a million Mick. Great job on iron man too!!!

Brilliant guide for beginners like me. These really help get an idea of where to start, thank you sir.

Virtual Sherpa, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every one of Your videos. Thank You.

I’m looking to get into 14ers and this video was great man 👍

Congratulations man!

So glad that you put this together. Thank you. I've done 3 and will never forget it. Probably only have time for a few more.

LOVE your videos, watch them 2-3 times before I do a climb. Subscribed as a 14er! I'm only on #12 but I wouldn't do one without the watching THE Virtual Sherpa first!

Great synopsis for all the peaks. I can't wait to follow this guide and start conquering these this spring!

Truly incredible, out of this world, at a loss of words just looking at those mountains and seeing people climb them, astonishing 👍 to me, this is as wild as it gets!

Thanks for this valuable video!

I did Redcloud as my first 14er earlier this summer without much acclimation and it was tough! I plan on going back with more training and acclimation time to bag Sunshine with it as well.

Instantly hit that Luke button when you said you just hiked the last one. Mad props

great breakdown, especially by grouping them by category. thanks

New subscriber. Thank you very much for your very onformative videos. Looking forward to hiking many of these.

Awesome videos, and thanks for sharing your experiences and recommendations. I visited Colorado this past October, my first 14er was Pikes Peek, then I drove out to Dillion to explore Cupid Sniktau and Grizzly. I was somewhat surprised that my old senior bones was still up to the challenge. My only regret (something you mentioned in your video) I got caught in a snow/lightening storm 50 feet from Grizzly peek and was not prepared as to what safety measures you should take during a lightening storm. Being a newbi I wasn't aware how quickly the weather can change so quickly, It was blue skies when I started the hike, but after surviving the lighten storm I research the safety measures to take when I a summit during a lightening storm. Thanks again

I have no idea what you desire to gain from this channel but I see your hard work and I love this whole area so much. If we ever meet I’ll buy you as many drinks as you want, or just a meal if you don’t drink.
