QUANDARY PEAK TRIP REPORT | Tips for Beginners, well, at least what I wished I knew before starting 

Thanks, Todd. I'll be doing my 1st 14er in August 2022 and will remember your tips. Like how you outlined the various sections. Good tip about a bio break!

Great video, enjoyed how you detailed the various sections! Thanks!

Thanks really appreciate the video I'm going to climb quandary peak this year July 2021.

Thank you for the tips! This video was very helpful. I will be doing this one as my fourth fourteener and very excited :)

Loved this one too!

Good information for future Todd, especially the potty break. That has happened to me before. We are going back to hike the back side of Seneca Rocks in WV. It is pretty steep also. My wife want to challenge herself to climb up the back side with me. It's not a 14er by any means but it is one of the greatest natural attractions in the mountains of West Virginia.

Thank you for making this!

One of the easiest 14 I climbed while living in Colorado .... that said I was in fantastic climbing shape and had all ready climbed Capitol and several Mountain pass hikes of 10+ miles

Great vid.

Man, this one is sketchy in the ice and snow. Had to turn back above the tree line this morning but the views were amazing.

Good work Bruh! #informational #greatvideo

Coming from sea level all my life I came to Colorado and attempted to do this. I'm a fit guy but boy that altitude kicked my butt. Once I got past the middle part with all the switchbacks I was pretty much dead and could barely breathe. Still pushed through all the way to the top but it was the hardest hike I had done. Even just sitting at the top the altitude was getting to me. Definitely Definitely will get more acclimated to altitude next time

Do you have a list of supplies and things you brought with you? I’m doing it this summer. Want to be prepared.

My next ones were Greys and Torres. Sherman is a good easy one too.

I call that last slope the wall of pain. It doesn't matter how many other 14ers (30 unique now) 3x on quandary. It still kicks my ass.

How did you keep the beers cold when going to the top did you bring a smalle cooler in your backpack

Please remember that the ecosystem is fragile and it’s important to stay on the trail. Don’t forget to donate to the CO Fourteeners Initiative!

Sure was! This one kicked my ass let me tell ya

Todd. How long did this peak take? Good for a 10 and 12 year old?

Did the altitude get to you?
