    Tips

    July 21, 2023

    Perhaps the most technically challenging 14er in the area, Sunlight Peak reaches up to 14,061 feet and has a class 4 summit route. This is not a beginner mountain, and summiting requires a fair amount of research and alpine skills. That being said, the rock is usually solid and grippy, and the scrambling and climbing can be fun for mountain climbing veterans.
