Carl Blaurock (April 22, 1894 – February 1, 1993) was an American mountaineer. He pioneered many climbing routes throughout Colorado and Mount Blaurock () is named after him. Blaurock and climbing partner Bill Ervin were the first to climb all of the 14,000-foot peaks (known as "fourteeners") in the state of Colorado, doing so by 1923. By 1957, he had also climbed all of the peaks in California as well. In Wyoming, Blaurock participated in the first ascents of Mount Helen, Mount Turret, and Mount Harding along with Hermann Buhl, Elmina Buhl and Albert Ellingwood.〔Euser, Barbara (1984). ''A Climber's Climber: On the Trail With Carl Blaurock''. Cordillera Press. ISBN 0-917895-01-0.〕 In Colorado, he also made the first ascent of Lone Eagle Peak with Stephen H. Hart. In 1912, Blaurock helped to found the Colorado Mountain Club as a charter member. == Early life and education == He was born in Denver, Colorado. He studied at North Denver High School and later went on to study metallurgy at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, graduating in 1916. After graduation, he worked for his father and took over the family business until his retirement in 1972. His business helped to finance his hobbies, including mountaineering and photography, but it also limited the amount of time he could spend outside of Colorado.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Blaurock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
