High and remote Uncompahgre and Wetterhorn stand alone as 14,000 foot sentinels of the Northern San Juan’s. Having this stature and location in common, the two peaks harbor very different characters in their climbing routes. Uncompahgre offers a beautiful class 2+ alpine trail hike to an exposed summit. Resembling it’s Swiss namesake, Wetterhorn sports two classic alpine routes to it’s tiny peak. Wetterhorn’s standard route is no give-away with a long scrambling ridge finishing with the same final pitch to the summit.
