Summit one of the most technical 13ers in colorado!

Nestled in the rugged San Juan Mountains Jagged Mountain is one of the 100 tallest peaks in Colorado as well as being one of the most technical 13ers in Colorado. Due to its remote location, Jagged Peak sees considerably less traffic than the popular Chicago Basin and boasts low 5th class climbing to gain the summit. 

For those looking to spend some quality time in the remote peaks of the Weminuche Wilderness, climb low 5th-class granite towers to an incredible summit ridge, and enjoy little to no crowds, Jagged is the mountain for you. Accessed by the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and guided by AMGA trained & educated guides, the experience to climb Jagged from start to finish is unforgettable.
