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?


Sorry. We have sea kayaks and do fla****er mostly, but I'm getting more
proficient in the surf.
