Talk:Mount Bierstadt

Untitled
Well... someone or something decided to merge The Sawtooth into this immediately after I made the page... I don't think that should be done because the Sawtooth is pretty neat, but I have no great justification for it, I'm just a little curious as to how it got marked for merger within 2 minutes of creation. --Keflavich 05:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Images of Mount Bierstadt
I'd like to see an image taken from Guanella Pass or thereabouts, which is where most hikers start. I think this would be the most relevant view of the mountain. Also it could be a bit wider. Howdybob 00:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll add one of my wide pictures from Guanella Pass. Someone recommended this picture as the main one. I think it's a nice picture, but you're right that it doesn't represent the mountain particularly well. --Keflavich 00:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There are three peaks in that picture. Is the peak on the left Mount Evans? Also, if the picture was taken from the trailhead that might be worth mentioning. It's been a while and I can't tell for sure myself. Howdybob 06:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

First Ascent
From its initial completion, this page has shown Albert Bierstadt as the first ascender of Mount Bierstadt. This claim needs support. I've found no evidence for it, so I put a citation needed flag. There is ample evidence that Bierstadt came via the Chicago Lakes and Summit Lake in 1863 and ascended either Mount Evans or possibly Mount Spalding. I added a paragraph on that because the fact the Bierstadt came close to his eponymous mountain is relevant. I've seen no evidence that he climbed it. Roof of the Rockies: a history of Colorado mountaineering by William M. Bueler says the first ascent was by prospectors, as judged by prospect holes. So, I put citation needed on the attribution of the first ascender. If no documentation can be found for Bierstadt having climbed Bierstadt, this claim should be struck. Douglas W.
