Top ten questions you should know the answer to before hiking a 14er.

I think it's funny how riled up people get at the mere mention of highway 70.

I 70 is a glaring culmination of the greater paradigm regarding everything that's starting to suck about this state.

My blood pressure rises at the the mere mention of I 70.

I second this.

I-25 is the bane of my existence. There's always an accident on that road. I-70 is crowded, but in my experience, accidents are infrequent.

I like hitting the gas to catch up to the next truck in the right lane, then slowing down next to him to box you in

Reading comprehension: yep... it's still hard.

I guess I should have made it simpler for you, but thanks for admitting your deficiencies. Car in left lane going slow right next to truck in right lane means you can't pass on right.

Hello, hiking community!

I"m working on a project for work. I have to design and online, adult-learning module on a topic that none of my team knows anything about. Seeing as they all live in Manhatten, I was thinking hiking a 14er would be a good topic. In order to begin, I have to decide on roughly 10 questions they will need to know the answer to in order to graduate. I'd love to hear your thoughts. What is something you should know before you begin to climb? As an added twist, the answers must be T/F, Multiple choice, matching, locate something on an image, or completing a task.

Hey Jump Roper,

Returning to the OP -
Did you get your top ten questions yet?? I have some thoughts...
(PS don't assume that if you live in NY, one doesn't know anything about mountains or 14ers

Don't forget about the drag race that is Floyd Hill! I love that second corner, it really separates the pros from the newbies.

I like how when there is no truck in the right lane going up that hill that it will ALWAYS be empty. You can pass dozens of cars on the right...

Please see info regarding passing lane above.

And here is why traffic jams happen...
