So, I got the chance to re-finish the WY 13ers with a quick traverse of Miriam Peak from Titcomb to the Glacier Trail a couple days ago, and thus finished the current round of research for the guidebook I've been slowly putting together since 2020. The Wyoming 13ers have a strange pattern right now of almost everyone who finishes them doing so as part of an FKT, but I assume that others are likely interested in tackling a subset of these peaks at some point and/or going after the list one trip at a time.
Anyway, I finally finished this and thought some of y'all might be interested. I know there's no advertising on 14ers.com, but since most of the guidebook material is freely available online and the print copy only nets me a few dollars, I don't really consider this a money-making venture. Rather, it's a labor of love for my favorite peaks in the world.
A few features worth noting: in the online guidebook supplement, I've included interactive 360-degree panoramas for most peaks, so you can look around at the summit view, and there are thousands of pictures with a mix of route description and trip report-style narrative captions. The print guidebook has more heavily edited and updated route descriptions as well as a bunch of preliminary material on wilderness ethics/difficulties/approach hikes/history/etc.

Happy climbing.

Re: Wyoming 13ers Guidebook
I enjoyed reading your trip report for the FKT! Twice through I believe! Thanks for the effort you put into this. Will take a look soon.

Cool. I just ordered one.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: Wyoming 13ers Guidebook
Thanks Eli! I am sure based on your experience, this book will be mentioned next to Pallister and Kelsey. I will have to get a copy. Thanks for sharing from your adventures so freely.
