What peaks do you actively pursue?

Only 14ers (highest in Colorado!)
4
3%
Only 14ers and 13ers (next step: Cents, Bis, all 13ers, etc)
33
27%
Both 14ers and lower mountains (pursue all sorts of peaks, but mainly in the CONUS)
50
41%
Anything BUT Colorado 14ers (eg. 14er finishers who are seeking more solitude or those who are turned off by larger crowds - might do a few now and then, but mainly try to avoid them and focus on other peaks)
14
11%
High altitude: 14ers and below, plus higher peaks (thinking higher than Whitney at least, outside of the CONUS)
17
14%
I don't actively pursue peaks/peak lists (might sometimes go on hikes/climbs, but more spontaneously)

That's why I climbed Sleepy Cat Peak!

This is how I chose my 100th 13er: Mountain Boy Peak :-D
There's more to life than 14ers. There are 13ers.

Anything that strikes my fancy. Recently a lot of 14ers,

but now I want to climb a bunch of interesting 13ers and stuff outside Colorado.

Alpine trad basically. Need to continue to build my following and eventually lead skills.

Teakettle, vestal, Mt. Moran

And also anything pretty and or fun. Alpine scramble or not:

Looking to do all the RMNP 13ers eventually, next is pagoda, hopefully one of the trad routes
looking at blitzen

And aspirations for the diamond.

-13ers
-want to eventually climb something in every USGS Quad in CO
-peaks I haven’t yet climbed that I can bang out after class or before/after work
-when I have the funds and experience eventually want to get out and climb some real real mountains. tons of stuff in the cascades, WY, CA, AK, coast range, Canadian Rockies/Glacier, and of course abroad.

-a first ascent in Tombstone Territorial Park or the vast expanse of awesome mountains in the Northwest Territories. plenty to be had still because it’s just so freaking remote.
