An accurate, complete guide to climbing the fifty-five peaks over 14,000 feet in Colorado-covering routes for all levels.
Celebrate the joys that come from climbing Colorado's highest peaks. Colorado's 14,000·foot peaks offer the hiker and mountaineer one of the finest arrays of alpine challenges in the Rocky Mountains. Gerry Roach has written a clear, concise and accurate guide compiled from first-hand knowledge.
The guide covers 197 routes on 55 peaks over 14,000 feet. Besides the often·climbed standard routes, this guide describes many alternative routes on the easier fourteeners and several technical routes. Most of the routes on Colorado's fourteeners are walk-ups (Class 1 , Class 2, Easy Snow), but there are many scrambles (Class 3 Moderate Snow) and technical climbs (Class 4, Class 5, Steep Snow) on these peaks. Many of these routes have never been adequately described before. Each route's difficulty is rated according to the Yosemite Decimal System. Each route's rating has three parts: Grade, Class, and Snow Steepness. Round-trip mileage and elevation gain are included.
