Pat’s Peak Climbers

This year Rob and Pam organize a group for the hike. Team “Pat’s Peak Climbers” consisted of: Larry Schmidt, Pat MacSchmidt, Rob Mitchell, Pam McCain Cochran, Kim Desmoineax, Mary Quinn Bilenduke, Lori Knull, Karen Lunceford, Anna Lunceford and Nancy Bourg. We started hiking at 5:30 a.m. in the morning.

Survivors of brain injury, family, friends, and community supporters start their ascent up this magnificent 14,110-foot mountain at the base of Barr Trail in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Hikers crest the summit after 13.5 miles and 7400 vertical feet. Hiking coach Bruce Cochran and Leon Littlebird joined this years PPC support staff. 9/8/06 there was snow, rain and cool, but was clear and cool on 9/9/06.
