We drove to Summit County and tried to summit a 14'er called Grey's Peak. We were unable to summit for the following reasons
1. Starting late. We did not start climbing till 6:11am
2. Training. We could have done more training to prepare for a 7 1/2 Climb 6 up, 1 1/2 back
3. We did not start at the trail head. When the guide book says 4 wheel drive road they mean it. The sprinter was just to big of a vehicle to get up the road
4. Un willingness to do something stupid. At around 11:30am, we knew had about 2-3 hours of climbing left and we thought we saw some storm clouds coming in and we did not want to get stuck in a storm
