Shortly after finishing the fourteeners, the local paper wrote up a little article about it. Since then, with Crested Butte being the small town that it is, I’ve had a lot of folks asking me questions about it, such as “Which one was the hardest?” “Which one was your favorite?”, etc. Here’s a few answers…
Hardest- That one is easy, it was Capitol, without a doubt.
Favorite- That’s a little tougher. Each and every fourteener (or any mountain, for that matter) has redeeming qualities for an addict like me. Overall, though, the Landry line on Pyramid is the best- it’s huge (over 4k’ of vert), and steep, and aesthetic, and one I’ll hopefully do again some day. Some other favorites include:
Crestone Needle, S couloir
North Maroon, N face
Maroon (S), SW couloir
Sneffels, Snake couloir
Wilson Peak, NE face
Castle, E face and S face
I could do these routes again, for sure. Notice how well the Elks are represented? 
Least favorite-
Princeton, Columbia and Bross all have zero chance of ever feeling my skis make turns on them again.
Most rewarding-
Capitol
Most disappointing-
Little Bear (It’s one of the hardest in the summer, but in spring, it felt short and tame)
Anybody out there have some other questions along those lines?
