Everyone asks that question. By standard routes maybe Pyramid,
Wetterhorn,
The Bells, Crestone Needle. I think rotted rock makes it more dangerous
(hence "challenging"), it depends on what one considers a challenge.



The rotten rock of North Maroon Peak will kill you about as quickly as
anything. I took a nasty fall on South Maroon once--had to be evac'd by the
local Aspen climbing rescue dudes. Three broken bones and a concussion. I
was even wearing a helmet. They said I was very lucky to be alive.

I am finding it interesting that so many of you are also climbers as
well as sailors. It seems that the search for the adrenaline rush knows
no bounds.

Anyone run whitewater?
