Ellingwood Point is a 14048ft summit, reached only by a challenging hike in mostly rocky terrain. The ridge to the Ellingwood Point is one of the most challenging parts of the traverse to Ellingwood and Blanca Peak. Part of the terrain is class 3 climbing, but there’s no need for special gear to do it. However, for your safety, it’s better to have some experience with alpine hiking and is also recommended to check if the weather is stable before you go.
