With Mike. Climbed Parrot and Madden peaks in the La Plata range. Extremely steep, long off trail talus climb straight up the fall line of the ridge. 3220 feet of climb according to the Suunto. High point in the mid 11k range. 4 hours and 20 minutes total, including a fair amount of dawdling. Great views.
I'm feeling fairly tired now after 3 days of solid high altitude climbing, but I'm reasonably happy with my performance considering I haven't done a lot of long stuff lately. Mike wasn't tired at all and was very fast; much faster than me. He had a bad altitude headache the first day, but other than that coming from sea level didn't seem to bother him.
