Walsenburg Nearest Major Airport Colorado Springs Easiest Summit Route Scramble Little Bear Peak, which is southwest of Blanca Peak , is one of Colorado's hardest fourteeners. The only approach available to the public is via the Lake Como Road. The steepest Class 4 section is on solid rock, but the less steep portion above the gully contains a lot of loose rock, which is easily knocked down into the gully. This is definitely a place to wear a helmet.
Many climbers prefer to rappel down the gully.
