I don't climb the Rockies but still admire them from afar.

Great post. This is my feeling with the Stampede. I know many people love to hate on it, but people need to relax. I can't think of anywhere in the North America (maybe to a small extent New Orleans & Mardi Gras) where an entire city (especially corporate offices) pretty much shuts down and fully embraces 10 days of fun.
It's such a great experience and I'm sad I'm going to miss it this year.
