I think that higher elevation mountains can get really intimidating with weather, and way higher commitment just due to the increased distances from the car. Some of the more isolated ranges in Wyoming have several mile walk ins and if the weather turns bad, or you get hurt it can be potentially life threatening very easily even with sar. But you can just as easily fall off some weird exposed section on smaller mountains in the east as in the west. I think the issue is primarily a matter of human traffic. Mountains with more foot travel regardless of height get ground in and trundled so there seems to be way less risk of falling rocks or bad footings in exposed spots. But there are also more people which comes with lots of problems of it's own. Like having to get cocksucking parking permits and other gay shit in Colorado.
