Keller Mountain

Keller Mountain lies on the eastern margin of the central portion of the Gore Range. Class 3 scramble. 9.85 miles. 4,045 ft elevation gain. Keller separates the Rock Creek drainage and the Boulder Creek drainage. The main routes on Keller are either the Class 2+ Southwest Face or the challenging 3rd class East Ridge. The East Ridge is joyous in a windy-treacherous sort of way. Route finding is fun and the terrain almost always presents alternatives. The ridge crest is semi-solid but the traverse below the ridgeline is remarkably loose

The views of the surrounding Gores are breathtaking. Keller is large and complex. In spite of its mellow appearance from many vantages it is has a challenging 3rd class East Ridge. The ridge crest is semi-solid but the traverse below the ridgeline is remarkably loose.
