Скачать или смотреть Conquering Mount Antero | 14,271 ft, Crazy Winds & Spectacular Colorado Views in the Sawatch Range

Join me on my 23rd Colorado 14er adventure as I climb Mount Antero (14,271 ft) in the Sawatch Range! 🏔️ On June 23, 2023, I started from the Brown’s Creek/Little Brown’s Creek Trail and embarked on an epic 14-hour, 18-mile round-trip journey with 5,426 feet of elevation gain. This Class 2 climb challenged my endurance, but the sweeping views of the Colorado Rockies made every step worth it.

Mount Antero is renowned for its high-altitude metamorphic and igneous rocks, including quartz-rich granite and pegmatite veins, which give the peak its rugged character. The area is also famous for gemstone deposits, including aquamarine, making the geology here truly fascinating. Along the route, I hiked a short section of the Colorado Trail, adding a classic trail experience to the climb.

The weather was perfect for most of the day, but extreme wind gusts added a dramatic challenge—knocking you off balance and making every breath a battle at this altitude. Despite the difficulty, reaching the summit was an unforgettable experience, with panoramic views that showcase the beauty and grandeur of Colorado’s Sawatch Range.

Experience the adventure, geological wonders, and epic scenery of Mount Antero in this high-altitude Colorado climb!
