I will never climb to the peak of a mountain. Mountains are for scenic backdrops while I sit in the shade of a tree by the water only

outside of elbert they are all mogged in actual floor to peak height, they are AllTrails mountains as opposed to mountaineering peaks and even elbert is only a class 1 hike.

Why not both? Nothing beats looking up at a mountain you climbed, after you climbed it

Prominence isn't measuring what you think it is.

It is true that Colorado peaks are mogged by Whitney, and definitely Rainier, but Elbert is not different from the other Colorado 14ers.

Prominence is "the least drop in height necessary in order to get from the summit to any higher terrain".

So because Elbert is the highest peak in Colorado, and the next highest peak is Whitney in California, it has a much higher prominence than other Colorado 14ers. But is not more impressive than them, and is in fact much less impressive than some other Colorado 14ers.

Lol it was kind of a sarcastic answer but honestly I’ve never much liked peak bagging. I find the endeavor a bit dull. Mixed rolling elevation is more my speed. That being said I have been curious about proper mountaineering. I’ve always loved scrambling granite. Maybe if I have the funds I’ll try for shasta this year as an easy start

Lol you think whitney is some sort of mountaineering feat? Its covered with ig nerds. I went up elbert in november, didn't see a single other person. Wasnt particularly challenging outside of some ice/slush sections but it was still a bigass mountain with a nice climb. You're trying too hard to sound like a hardass (and not succeeding). You also moved the goalposts last time you were informed that you posted something stupid.

Reminder that real mountaineering begins at 6000m. Anything lower is just larping.

Mt Waddington is only 4000m. Since 4000m is just larping, you should go climb it. Should be easy.

Colorado doesnt have glaciers. They have a couple tiny permanent snowfields they call glaciers. But that is it.

Mount Rainier is the only one I'm interested in peaking. seeing it from the plane is always cool and its visible from the airport rental garage in Seattle. the view from the top looks amazing. it hangs over the clouds, also a lot of spooky shit goes on there.

A lot of people die because they try to sneak in without a permit, don't have experience, and end up accidentally killing themselves, you mean.

Nigger you can drive to the northside of MT. Elbert trailhead and turn it into a 8 mile round trip with only 4k elevation gain its a joke. Massive at least takes a day
