Very nice shots, some look surreal.
Did you use a filter on those photos or just shoot auto / manual ?

So a little over 4300m, did you get a little altitude sickness, or are you used to climbing those peaks ?
I see it's probably a day walk (weather permitting), did you walk it from one of the roads to the east ?
Bristlecone Chalet perhaps ?

Bet it felt good being up there for a short while.

I live at 5000 ft altitude, so am somewhat adjusted to the thin air. I climb 14k foot peaks pretty regularly (we call them fourteeners), there are a total of 58 fourteeners in Colorado, last year I climbed 42, including a handful of repeats. This one was 15 miles, just over 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Took me 8 hours. Didn’t see another person all day.

I was using an ND16 filter, only to slow down shutter speed for video. I shoot video in manual mode, but shoot photos in auto.

Fantastic, lucky to live there I think

Nice - I've only hiked it in summer, which is a shorter hike with the road open. 42 in one year is a lot of hiking. Are you counting prominences smaller than the usual definition to get to 58 14ers?

There are only 5 of the 58 that don’t meet the qualifying rule, but I figure I might as well climb them too

That makes the 53 that I was thinking of.
