But Life would be even Gooder if I had a list in hand, of colorful and unique peak names, that I could check off!
Unless anyone objects, I vote for "hellmanm peak A" and hellmanm peak B" as great options for names. Happy to compromise and take the lower one if anyone thinks 2 is too many, with the other being named "Peaky McPeakface" (link for the uncultured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McB ... eroSection)

“Thunder Pyramid”, “Phoenix”, “Huerfano”, and “Lackawanna” aren’t official names. Better get to work on them too.
At least those are not someone’s last name. If we want to name them at least come up with something meaningful, otherwise keep them unnamed
I've already named 13,383 Mount Wiener Balls Peak and as a former USGS, now Interior employee, I shall prevail. viewtopic.php?p=808409#p808409
As for 13,820, due to proximity to 13,838, everyone's suggestions being hot garbage except for those who rightly suggest leaving it unnamed, and my status as a 13er finisher who has a very good brain and has said a lot of things, I obviously also get naming rights over 13,820 as well, which shall henceforth and forever be named The Benjamin Feinstein Summit For People Who Can't Use Apostrophes Good Or Consistently And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too Mountain.

What a great start to this underground project! I have added these two unofficial names to my checklist, though I admit to shortening the latter to:

Nope. The DMC (Duckburg Mountain Club) named those peaks Pt. A and Pt. B shortly after the Garratt and Martin 13ers guidebook came out in 1984. I believe members of the DMC reached the summit of these peaks long before Mr. Feinstein was even born. Therefore, his naming claim is invalidated.

For the sake of originality, they should be named Grizzly Peak & Sheep Mtn.
I recommend "Baldy." Don't think that one has ever been used either.

I see no proof thus this claim of invalidation is validly invalidated.
