Colorado Peakbagging




Welcome to my Colorado Peakbagging website. This site contains various climbing lists that I'm working on such as Fourteeners, Thirteeners, Centennials, & Bicentennials. I also climb a lot of other peaks....just cause. This whole 'Peakbagging' nonesense is pretty much my brother's fault. Back in '98, he dragged me up Mt. Audubon, and then a few months later, we did Mt. Sopris. I wasn't exactly fired up about it at first though. The following year, he and I climbed Quandary and we skied/boarded down. Heck of a way to do your first fourteener. It's all been downhill (or uphill, rather) since then.

Unless otherwise stated, everything I climb is located in Colorado (seeing as that's where I live). Pretty much all my climbs posted here will have a little detail such as peak stats, brief route descriptions, etc. Some climbs will have little more of a write up. A lot of the route descriptions found here will just refer back to several of the guide books I use. I figure there's no sense in rewriting what's already out there. Also, the climbing lists I use are based on how Gerry Roach ranks these peaks in his Colorado's Thirteeners book.

This site uses popups pretty extensively, so if your browser blocks these, you won't get much from here.
