Re: Colorado 14er Tier List
I’m guessing you didn’t factor in alternate routes for Ellingwood Point. The southwest ridge route bumps it two tiers IMO. It’s a classic on par with other great ridge routes like Kelso, Sneffles SW ridge, etc. - but hardly anyone does it. I guess because so many tack it on after Blanca or LB-Blanca, which is kind of a shame.
Others like the Zapata approach to EP. I haven’t done that, find it hard to imagine it’s better than the SW ridge.
