Colorado Ridge Scrambles : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost

Introduction

This list is designed as a one-stop shop for technical and semi-technical ridge routes in Colorado. Nothing fancy, just a nice listing or routes already on SP. Please, add others as you see fit! Also, improve my html as it is circa 1994 :-)
