Second half of back to back 14ers. This one appealed to me on account of being the highest peak outside the Sawatch Range, and an ultraprominent peak.

Could've started much further up, didn't know the road was doable for another two miles.

Was followed by a couple of guys all the way up to the Ellingwood turn, they decided to head up that way. Ran into them again on the way down, at the saddle.

Climb up the summit ridge was fun. Scrambly but stable. I could see rockfall being a problem if someone is careless.

Ran hard the last couple miles, just to make sure my quads are fully trashed.
