Fourteener mania, the phenomena characterized by a seemingly obsessive drive to summit The List of all fifty-four of Colorado¿s 14,000-foot peaks, is an older tradition than many may realize. Along with intensely positive experiences in climbing is the possibility of the opposite extreme¿to become stranded, severely injured, or even killed, in disturbingly easy ways. This book explores this dark side of climbing. When an accident happens on a 14er, the victim is far from help and in an environment where rescue is difficult at best. The book is full of hair-raising stories of these disasters and resue attempts and also aids in avoiding such disasters.

This completely rewritten and redesigned second edition is organised by mountain range-the only book you will need to find the most popular route up each of the 54 Colorado 14ers. Each description includes clear, concise directions for driving to the trailhead, where to park, a map of the route, difficulty rating, elevation profile, distance, and estimated round-trip time. All of the routes have been approved by the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, the non-profit that has built or rebuilt 21 of these routes and seeks to educate all 14er climbers about protecting and conserving these mountain routes. The Colorado Mountain Club Foundation receives, administers and disburses funds for charitable, scientific, literary and educational organisations that collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains.

The completely revised 7th edition includes text and map revisions for several sections where reroutes of the trail have taken place, as well as 90 colour pictures, 28 segment maps, elevation profiles, integrated GPS waypoints, town maps and mountain bike detours of Wilderness Areas.The Colorado Trail (CT) is one of the premier scenic long trails in North America. It winds its way through endless fields of wildflowers to windy mountain passes, from wild mountain rivers and streams to winding trails through old growth forests. The CT crosses eight mountain ranges, seven National Forests, six Wilderness Areas and five river systems. Starting near Denver at 5,500 feet and ending near Durango at 7,000 feet, the CT gains and loses almost 76,000 feet in elevation over 468 miles. New to this edition are revisions of four of the 28-segment trail descriptions including sections 8, 11, 23 and 24.
