Next 14er?

Post by Ans015 »

I just did Longs Peak solo as my first 14er and loved it. It was the most difficult yet rewarding hike I’ve ever done. What should be the next peak on my list?

I’d check info on Lindsey, it’s pretty fun and the climbing difficulty is comparable to Longs IMHO.

All I want is to just have fun, live my life like a son of a gun

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.

If you like class 3 then Kelso ridge on Grays and Torreys or the Sawtooth and do Bierstadt and Evans together. Crestone Peak from the west if you want a long drive and then some solitude until you hit the easy class 3 before the lake. The Sawatch is getting into Aspen changing season, and any of the non standard routes will offer some solitude, beautiful scenery, and a fair amount of miles and elevation gain.
