From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Russell Ellingwood was a pioneering mountaineer and climber in the western United States during the first half of the twentieth century. He made first ascents of many peaks and routes in the Rocky Mountains, particularly in Colorado. Many mountain features are named for him, on peaks such as Middle Teton, La Plata Peak, and Crestone Needle; the fourteener Ellingwood Point, near Blanca Peak in southern Colorado, is named for him as well.
