Climbing of Mt. Bierstadt ahead of RMFC 2014

Hey all-
I'm fairly new to the fandom and a Colorado Native. I was thinking that, given the theme of RMFC this year being "14ers" and celebrating Colorado's 14,000 ft. mountains, I'm proposing the organization of a furry ascent of Mt. Bierstadt the weekend before RMFC (the weekend of August 2).
Bierstadt is one of the closest 14ers to Denver, being about 1hr 45 min from the Denver Tech Center where RMFC is. Bierstadt is considered an easy climb and the hike to the summit is about 3 miles long, with a vertical climb of 2,391 ft.
Anyway, if anyone thinks this sounds like fun, please message me and we'll try and set something up! The whole thing is weather dependent of course, but the general idea is that we'd all start out from the Bierstadt trailhead at 7:00 AM at the latest, summit around 11-12, hang out, enjoy the view, eat lunch and engage in furry debauchery, and be heading down by 1-2, before the inevitable afternoon storm rolls in. Lastly, we'd probably top the whole thing off with a beer in Georgetown.
This is just me putting a feeler out there to see if anyone is interested, so please message me if this sounds like fun! If there is enough interest generated, I'll post back with a more concrete plan closer to the con, and we can see about organizing carpools, etc.
Thanks!
P.S. - Again, this isn't affiliated with RMFC in any way, I'm just a regular furry looking to climb a mountain before the con.
