Square top mountain.
Just across the street from Bierstadt and a little over 200ft shorter but significantly quieter.
7.25mi rt, 2,400ft of elevation gain to 13,779ft.
A bit steep and loose and gravely. Weather and views were nice and saw a few critters too. Not too bad.

4 13ers and 5 14ers on a possible backpacking trip in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.

Starting to think about packing into Pine Creek/Missouri Basin in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness for some 13ers and 14ers in June.

A bleached post sticks out of the summit cairn of Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft), the southern most 13er of the Sawatch Range. With the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon, dust in air in the north end of the San Luis Valley reflects the blue sky. The road in the lower right corner goes Bonanza, and the trailhead for the traditional route. The nontraditional route- and better route in my opinion- starts at Marshall Pass and cuts off the Colorado Trail.

Looking southeast from the summit of 13er Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft). Beyond the next ridge is the north end of the San Luis Valley, the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon.

I keep thinking that 2025 is the year for my Guanella-Land Traverse.

Looking south towards Antora Peak (13,269ft), from around 12,500ft on the southwest ridge of Mount Ouray (13,979ft). There's a nonstandard route up Antora's west ridge that's not on many maps, cuts off the CT south of Marshall Pass
