This is a simplistic grouping of peaks based on 14ers.com member checklists.
Although a peak may belong to a less-crowded group below, you might still experience a sense of crowding due to the route's difficulty or specific terrain characteristics. For instance, Little Bear Peak often feels congested when more than a few climbers gather in the crux area. As a general rule, for routes rated Class 3 or higher, it's best to plan your climb on off-peak days to avoid larger crowds. Currently, Longs Peak is the only Class 3-rated summit that regularly sees hundreds of climbers during summer weekends.
