Mount Elbert being the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains it was an obvious destination for my current training.
14,440 ft / 4401 meters
Hiking along the Black Cloud trail.

Great view of Rinker Peak (center) and La Plata on the right

Reaching the ridge. Mount Elbert is still 2.1 miles away (right) along a ridge full of false summits.

Finally reaching the summit after seven hours and forty five minutes

Great views from the summit. La Plata Peak is the giant massif in the center.
