Quality Colorado peaks page?
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:50 pm
Hi, I’m Sean and I’m relatively new to Colorado. I have done a fair bit of alpine scrambling in Washington State (with it’s relatively low but precipitous mountains) and I am shocked at the peak bagging mentality here in Colorado; sacrificing route and mountain quality for altitude. I mean no offense if this is what you are into.
I simply propose that we (people who have thorough knowledge of Colorado mountain, not me) should create a list or album of quality routes on Colorado peaks. Perhaps the theme could be “Colorado summit scrambles”, essentially non-walk-ups, not necessarily 14ers.
I’m trying to spread the word here on SP to try to stir up interest. I would love to be the one to set this up, but I yield to those who are vastly more knowledgeable on the area.
Would anyone be interested in instigating or contributing to such a page? I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Thanks.
