Mount Lindsey is a fourteener in the US state of Colorado, located near Blanca Peak at the southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Range. It is the forty-third highest mountain in Colorado. The summit and most of the southern flank of the mountain are privately held, but access to the summit is allowed. It was named after Malcolm Lindsey, a beloved chaperone for the Juniors of the Colorado Mountain Club in the 1940s.^{[citation needed]} Previously the mountain had been known as Old Baldy.^[2]
