After a very busy spring of youth ministry at Greenwood Community Church, Josh was able to schedule in a climb that he had been thinking about doing the last couple of years. He, along with Anthony Testa (bro-in-law) and Rick Inman (friend from GCC), chose to tackle the Dreamweaver Couloir on Mount Meeker (13,911 feet) near Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. This route combined some demanding mixed climbing on rock, snow and ice, but the day and mountain conditions couldn't have been better.Halfway up Dreamweaver

We summitted after nearly 7 hours of climbing and 4,500 vertical feet of elevation gained. The round trip distance was 11 miles. The views of Longs Peak were incredible!!

Overall, the trip was a ton of fun. Josh really enjoyed climbing with such strong and capable partners. What a blessing of a day!!
