"The Sangre de Cristo mountains," wrote Albert R. Ellingwood, one of Colorado's greatest mountaineers in the early 20th century, "have the glamour of lost history--dim memories of Indian bands of French explorers and Spanish troops; they have the spell of the remote, the mystery of recesses that are little known; they are the kind of mountains one's imagination builds." It's not too difficult to imagine the significance at that time of three 14,000-foot peaks, 14,294-foot Crestone Peak, 14,197-foot Crestone Needle, and 14,165-foot Kit Carson Peak, in the central Sangre de Cristo Range--Colorado's last unclimbed and "unclimbable" Fourteeners.
