Hey guys, wanted to hear some input on what you think is the hardest 14er? And then, if you are actually reading what I'm writing, the hardest 14er w/o rope use. I've done Crestone Needle and Pyramid, and want to gauge these against some others.
Thanks!
What's the hardest 14er??

This link below is a composite of hundreds of users and their opinions on which are the 'hardest'. No standard route requires rope. Little Bear and Capitol are pretty much locks for the top 2 most difficult.
