Sarah Warnock
Getting to know Sarah Warnock... your Realtor for Life!On July 25, 2008 I made my first attempt at climbing Longs Peak, the largest of the Northern Colorado range hovering at 14,255 feet. The climb was in honor of a dear friend's sister, Lygon Stevens, who passed away in an avalanche earlier that year on a 14'er in Southern Colorado. Lygon Stevens loved to climb Longs Peak and made it look like more of a day hike than the tough and dangerous climb that it is, finishing the entire climb in 6 hours once. With a start time of 3 am, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The sites and experiences turned out to be more amazing than I could have imagined. 17 hours later, I descended upon the trailhead after an exhausting day of an incredible sunrise, wonderful company, amazing vistas from the summit, and grueling weather on the way down. Every muscle hurt. It was an experience I will never forget. Climbing in honor of Lygon is probably what inspired me to get to the top. I attempted the summit again in August of 2009 but weather kept most of our group from summiting, making it too dangerous to go further than The Keyhole. And to think that such a world, the high mountain tundra, the immense pieces of granite rising over 14,000 feet sits right outside my backdoor. I look at Longs Peak everyday, but will never look at the mountain the same again, not after having stood on the top! What a wonderful place that we live in! How blessed to be able to enjoy life in Colorado! Get out there and live in it! “Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and glory are in His sanctuary.” Psalm 96:6 NIV
