Mount Elbert

Via North Elbert trail. Start 0745, Arrive Summit 1315, Leave summit 1345, Finish 1815 Great weather, mild clouds allowed slightly more time than usual. Best to ignore the several false summits (esp those pictured in some guidebooks) on north trail and keep going. Steep but manageable trail, great scenery, no exposure other than on 1 side of summit. A great day's hike.
