Top Colorado Scrambles You Need to Know About

I’m so stoked to share this list of my favorite Colorado scrambles with you. These are some really incredible hidden gems that you’re guaranteed to enjoy. I intentionally left off many well-known routes here for a reason. First, I think gatekeeping the mountains is silly. And second, I wanted to you have my honest opinions. I live for the off-the-beaten-path type 2 fun! As always, visit the mountains responsibly! Always pack out your trash including water bottles, fruit peels, toilet paper, and anything else you bring with you. Leave only footprints. Do your homework! Climbing mountains is dangerous and you should always research the route before heading out. Use a pinpoint weather tool like weather.gov to research the exact area you’re climbing. Always wear a helmet when scrambling. Rockfall kills. Your safety is your responsibility.

And you should be inspired by BOTH. I intentionally use photos and videos that have been edited for color and lighting, and ones that haven’t. All the photos and videos you see of these incredible Vail hikes were taken by me. I rarely edit other people out of photos (and I would make a note here if I did!). #climbing #climbingrocks #climbinglovers #summits #coloradoadventure #coloradohiking #coloradomountains #coloradotravel ✨Time stamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - Father Dyer 00:42 - Crestone Needle 01:06 - Music Mountain 01:43 - Grand Traverse 02:02 - safety info 02:22 - outro 02:38 - outtakes
