Edit: I'll add that I don't think Joe is the kind of guy to fabricate his accomplishments, from my time around him he seemed genuine. He also was doing it for himself and doesn't seek out the attention, not that others have/do. That's just his personality.

I've heard there'll likely be 3 more finishers to add soon.
2 of those may or may not report their achievement though. lol
To clarify: this is only a list of people that have claimed they finished, and that I know about. So call it the Known Finishers I guess. It does not include any secret finishers.

Thank you so much everyone! It's been a long journey with many ups and downs. I got all but 2 14ers by 2018, but then it took 4 seasons to get the remaining 2 peaks - North Maroon and Capitol with 5 attempts between them. They are definitely the crux of the whole project, although South Maroon, Pyramid, Snowmass and Chicago Basin are not far behind.
I am going to write a trip report with more details, but just wanted to give a shout to my 2 most favorite partners - Greg Gorell (Summit Lounger) and Brandon Chalk. I always felt that they cared about me reaching the summit as much as they did about theirs. They are truly wonderful partners and I am so glad we did several challenging peaks together.
And to all the people who completed the list before me - thank you for inspiration, motivation and wonderful trip reports full of useful beta. It made it easier to follow in your footsteps. Climb on!
