The route up to Mt. Sherman from the Leadville side. Mt. Sherman is in the Tenmile-Mosquito mountain range, 10 miles west of Fairplay and 8 miles south of Mt. Democrat (14,148') and Mt. Bross (14,172')
The summit of Mt. Sherman is toward the right side of the pic, although when you get to the top of this ridgeline you wind around to the northwest, so you can't quite see it in this photo. Brian is standing in front of the snowbank looking down toward the Fairplay side where the standard approach for hiking Sherman begins.
Getting closer, this is where we'll cross the snow fields near Toby...and then wind around to the northwest to the summit! It was soooo windy, we're talking like 50mph winds!!
This picture shows how windy it was, look at my hair flying about!
Leadville sits behind us, and you can see Mt. Massive to the left.

A shot looking toward Leadville with Mt Massive in the background, still lots of snow.
