Little Bear Peak, Mountain summit in Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, US
Little Bear Peak rises to 14,037 feet in elevation, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations along its climbing routes through the Sierra Blanca massif.
The mountain received its name in the early 1900s and became a destination for technical climbers seeking to complete their list of Colorado fourteeners.
Local mountaineering groups consider Little Bear Peak one of the most demanding climbs among Colorado's peaks, requiring solid preparation and climbing experience.
The standard route begins at Lake Como trailhead, covering 3.5 miles with 2,300 feet of elevation gain through multiple technical sections requiring Class 4 climbing skills.
The mountain features a section called the Hourglass, where water flows down the rocks year-round, creating additional challenges for climbers during their ascent.
