THE LITTLE BEAR TO BLANCA TRAVERSE | 5258 Project

Easily one of the most notorious 14er linkups in Colorado, the traverse from Little Bear Peak to Blanca Peak is littered with 5th class moves and ample exposure. Come along with Dave and I as we jam across the traverse, and tag Ellingwood Point, for one of the more memorable days of this project!

Nice work Bothers! I found , especially being less athletic and older, one ends up having to choose between Huge Objectives or really epic footage. That said, Impressive!

Intense!! I would love to summit these but geeze that’s a lot of exposure.

Man…it looks like the weather was positively PERFECT for this day. I’m curious about something though, as it was very difficult to tell from the video. Is this as challenging as the knife edge traverse of Capitol Peak? I’ve done that one, and it was pretty gnarly, but I’ve never done the Little Bear traverse -> Blanca. I don’t live in Colorado but always have my list of hikes n’ climbs ready for the next time I visit or am driving by. Also curious…do you find it easier to hike on scree and talus in non-hiking boots? I’ve only ever used hiking boots, but it would be nice to use lighter shoes, but haven’t found a pair I like enough to replace the trust Mammuts.

Two minutes in.... what is that cable for? What kind of shoes are those? They look good for climbing... sweet videos btw
