Voted 10/10 | Are these fine ridges made of solid or chossy rock? | | Posted Feb 9, 2009 5:18 pm |

Hasn't voted | The rock is solid for the most part and there is a lot of quality scrambling here. The ridge between Blanca & Little Bear is an absolute classic. | | Posted Feb 10, 2009 12:43 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks! Ken & Jean have a long and interesting climbing history, particularly in Colorado. Among other things, Jean was the 1st woman to climb every peak above 13,000 ft here. | | Posted Feb 10, 2009 12:47 pm |
