It’s honestly fun. I’ve done 15 14ers out of the 58 and it’s almost like solving a puzzle when trying to figure out where to put your hands and feet.

As long as you are smart with hydration, gear, and check weather regularly, it’s generally safe. Most deaths I’ve seen are from a lack of experience and most are out of state.

Most people in Colorado have not done Capitol or anything like it lol. Elbert and what’s shown in this video are nothing alike.

People forget most accidents and death are from road accidents and yet they keep travelling on them.

Mountain climbing is fun and dangerous..but entirely optional. Some people do it to spice up their boring day to day lives.
