A 14er is all fun and games until you get your dick kicked in at 13+ when the winds hit. You can “train” all you want at sea level but it’s not going to even remotely be prepare you for the reality up there.
IMO a 14er is a poor suggestion for a fun activity for people from low elevation just visiting.

Disagree on the 14er, maybe a more difficult class 3/4 peak would surely be too difficult for the vast majority of people from out of state, but Quandary sees a ton of people who are not in amazing shape from sea level who complete relatively easily. We completed with my brother after a couple days of sleeping in Breck, and met several others in similar situations. I’d say most people in decent shape with a couple of days of sleeping at elevation can do Quandary.
That said if you’re looking for an easy Sunday waltz, a 14er isn’t great. But that’s applicable to even those who live at elevation.
