You know you're a peakbagger when...

[xcrunner365]

...When you have accounts on LoJ, 14ers, and SummitPost in addition to your own Excel Sheets to track summits/ metrics.

...someone asks you how many of a certain list you've done and you pause to pretend to think about it but you already know the answer because it's all you think about and you don't want to look like some obsessive dork.

This is a common occurrence on first dates for me lol

You think this is the most interesting forum topic, possibly ever.

You nod your head at practically every post and think "business as usual", except:

"...you use a website to keep track of every summit you've reached"
-->
You create a nearly full-time job for yourself writing an app for this purpose because all existing websites seem inadequate

"They eventually ask you to write a guidebook for OTHER peakbaggers"
-->
But you decline, to avoid self-incrimination and keep the good stuff pristine.

"You've done a lot of peaks called "Unnamed [elevation]."
-->
It's a novelty when you do a peak that has a name

"You do full moon hikes, not 'cause it's romantic but to avoid being shot."
-->
Of course. However, no system is perfect, so you've become comfortable talking down enraged, gun-brandishing hunters/landowners/lunatics.

"Peakbagging friends make fun of you for orphaning a peak."
-->
What friends? And if they did exist, they would be loath to bring up the subject because they wouldn't want to get you started.

"...someone asks you how many of a certain list you've done and you pause to pretend to think about it but you already know the answer because it's all you think about and you don't want to look like some obsessive dork."
-->
You answer the question immediately because you know you're not kidding anyone.

You blow off family holiday get-togethers so you can check off open grid days.

Even the most obscure and contrived peak list is likely to become an all-consuming obsession.

... you have not only your own Excel sheet to supplement online accounts but also a PowerPoint presentation that includes screenshots of the different ranges plus folders on your PC named by peak groups with snapshots of the routes, stats, etc and you have independent backup copies on your phone and in the cloud so that no one system failure can erase your data.

- you add all the no prominence climbing and bouldering objectives in the flatirons to LoJ just to sandbag your stats
- when peak lists aren't enough, you aim to finish quads
- you tweet about each ascent
- you leave registers on summits when there isn't one

You brag about bagging all of the Larimer County highpoints in meetups.
You spray your hiking partners with unsolicited beta on peaks they would never be interested in attempting.

[montanahiker]

...you do actually bring a friend along you can name all the peaks in view when you reach the summit and they look at you like you're a crazy person.

“how many __ers have you done?”
- “this year?”

and...
... as a last resort, you think about taking a job as a Fedex driver to tag the last few ranked peaks in Jefferson County
... your shins are constantly covered in scabs because of all the bushwhacking
... you know what Prominence Index means
... you think about 366 grids and only go up your home peak on "open" days

...and should the Fedex gig not bear fruit, there's always the fallback ruse of pretending to deliver a pizza to the wrong house, or doing a little unsolicited soliciting when the high point happens to be in someone's living room.

I've considered these gigs, also amazon driver, trash hauler, utility line locator, cable/dish guy, surveyor, sheriff deputy, volunteer fire fighter...
