Most historically significant climbs in Colorado? A list for fun
|
Playing around with a list, what am I missing? What significant routes went up in the the following decades that had an impact on Colorado Climbing? |
|
Bastille Crack ascent by Army climbers in 1954??? |
|
amazon.com/Climb-History-Ro…
amazon.com/Longs-Peak-Story… Those two books will give you some endless fodder! |
|
There's quite a few that you could add to that list depending on what your parameters are. In addition to the previous books you should take a look at the book "Roof of the Rockies". I think Lizard head was first climbed in 1920 by Ellingwood and Hoag but it would be good to double check. |

How about Otto's Route? First chipped route in Colorado National Monument? |
