Quandary Peak East Ridge Summit, A Skiing & Hiking Guide! CO 14er [4K UHD Cinematic]

Winter is fInally loosening it's icy grip on Colorado's 14ers and we took full advantage Hiking and Skiing Quandary Peaks friendly Class 1 East Ridge route on a warm, low wind, blue bird day! Near the Breckenridge ski resort, this is one of the most popular winter and summer routes of all the Colorado 14ers and for good reason. Avalanche risk is almost non existent in winter unless there are extreme conditions, generally only found during winter proper, and summer ascents are steep class 1 hiking only with obvious route finding. It does get crowded in the summer, parking by reservation only but, Breckinridge does offer a summer shuttle service from downtown. This is a great introductory 14er but, proper training and weather awareness are still required! Winter ascents do not require parking reservations and are best done on low wind days and using micro spikes or snowshoes/skis if fresh snow is suspected.
