Mt. Lindsey

Mt. Lindsey (14,042') was my third Colorado 14er, and though the lowest in elevation, it was also the most technically challenging. Robin and I ascended the north face route described in Roach, which took us up a very steep snow climb with bonus patches of loose scree. It was exceedingly windy throughout the approach and ascent, but once at the summit the wind died off and the weather was great. We spent over an hour on the summit.

The crux of the route is this 40 degree snow couloir surrounded by very loose scree.
