- We climbed 14ers Blanca Peak and Ellingwood Point on 9/8/2024, a day after we summited Little Bear Peak from the same camp spot near Lake Como. Compared to Little Bear this hike was much more mellow, and can be kept mostly at class2+, with a couple of minor class3 moves during the traverse from Blanca to Ellingwood (which can be avoided if one drops lower from the ridge). We watched an epic sunrise over Mt Lindsey on our way up to Blanca, which was windy and cold that morning. We then headed over to Ellingwood and enjoyed our time on the summit which was nearly windless and much warmer. Total stats from Lake Como: 7 miles with 3000’ elevation gain.

Amazing!
Thanks!
@@ruggedland You are welcome.
Super cool!! Great sunrise shots too!
Thank you!
Over the years, I would see Blanca from the San Luis Valley, but I never climbed in that area.
Thanks for taking us up. Nice reflections in the Unnamed Lake. Blue Lake not blue that day.
Once when I flew from Chicago to Los Angeles we passed over the southern part of the Blanca cordillera. I saw an impressive series of cirques, six or so, on the east side of the range.
Very Nice 👍 10

@@ruggedland 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Some of the cirques can be seen in the video at about 4:00 and 4:55.
The Sangres are such a unique range that one can explore for a long time
Sick day out!
Thanks! Enjoy watching your epic hikes too
Beautiful sunrise. You were there at the perfect time. Loved the lakes at the end. Pretty soon you'll be climbing all the California 14'ers.
Thanks Vickie. Would love to climb a few of those CA 14ers down the road but too many CO mountains to climb still
