Grays Peak (14,270 ft) with some beginners

Some of my co-workers that are new to the state have been anxiously awaiting the chance to concur a 14er, so Lisa and I dragged them up Grays Peak for the first.
Erin and Danny brought their dog Frisbee, who had the most energy of any of us, at least until the end of the day.
I've been experimenting with syncing my photos with my GPS track as I hike, and here is the first result of my efforts: A Google Earth KMZ file with image overlays. Check it out!

Jamie's fashion statement: stripey gloves, orange boots, and purple fleece
