Colorado 14ers

What are the Colorado 14ers?

A 14er, or fourteener, is a mountain with a summit at least 14,000 feet above sea level. Colorado has more of them than any other state. Using the common rule that a peak must rise at least 300 feet above the saddle connecting it to a higher neighbor, Colorado has 53 ranked 14ers. Many climbers instead follow a list of 58 that also includes named summits such as Conundrum Peak and North Eolus that do not meet the 300-foot rule. The peaks are spread across the Sawatch, Front, Mosquito, Tenmile, Elk, San Juan and Sangre de Cristo ranges. Mount Elbert is the highest at 14,440 feet.

Finishing the fourteeners

Few people climb the 14ers in a single summer. Most work through them range by range over many years, starting with the peaks closest to home and saving remote or complex ones for later. Some routes link several 14ers in one day, which makes a running record of what has been climbed useful. Yak keeps that record for you.
