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 fell on South Maroon also. I skidded down an ice field from the summit
towards the east. I went quite a ways but finally arrested. I was really
close to getting killed, another 30 feet was a cliff. Those two peaks kill
people regularly. We had just done the traverse.

Amen!
