Yep. Two fine gentlemen got close, https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/triprepo ... trip=12717, but the empty checkbox remains...for now.

Great feature! Is there a way to rank which 13ers have the least/most summits?
Gray Needle is the obvious one as least summited.
But something like Pk 22 in Wemi only has 6 summits! Will be cool to see how little traffic some peaks generate.
To my chagrin, Lizard Head is actually a pretty popular one, with a lot more people on MP recording ascents also :).

Cool feature thanks!

Really shows the disparity in LOJ vs 14ers members and what they focus on. Once you get out of the highest hundred, in general the numbers here go way down unless its an easier accessed Front Range peak.

For example, LOJ's most climbed 13er is Sniktau with 364 members reporting an ascent, on the 14ers list there are 1442 members with an ascent. (Unraked Spalding seems to be the most climbed here with 1508, LOJ has 319)

The least climbed 13er on LOJ is PT 13060B (in the Elks) with 32 reported ascents, on 14ers only 16 members recorded an ascent. Seems to be the least climbed ranked 13er on both sites.

I attribute it mostly to the old-time 13er climbers not being members here, but with almost 5300 13er checklists on this site, I am surprised that the obscure ones are climbed as little as they are, 16 out of 5293 people is less than 1/3 of 1%! (by the way, my name last weekend was the only one for 2019 in the register, its not climbed much)

Its hard to say how many Colorado checklists there are on LOJ because there are a large amount of out of state members that really only climb in their home areas. Out of 6790 members, only 733 have climbed Bierstadt (About 10.7%). 14ers.com has over 19,000 people with 14er checklists, 70% of which have climbed Bierstadt - so appx 13,300!

Oh, this is fun. Thanks.

Chicago Transplant already beat me to one peak, but now everyone guess which is the most climbed 13er in every other range. A couple of the answers are surprising. They're in spoiler text (select to reveal).

Front: Sniktau (1442), followed by James (1364). Unranked Spalding has more than either (1508).
Tenmile: Atlantic (1035), followed by Pacific (1018)
Mosquito: Sheridan (1092), followed by Horseshoe (921)
Gore: Powell (258), followed by Grand Traverse (212)
Sawatch: Holy Cross Ridge (905), followed by Ouray (766)
Elk: Cathedral (296), followed by Hagerman (238)
Sangre: Red (658), followed by Columbia Point (473)
San Juan: Vermilion (395), followed by Matterhorn (385)

Very cool. Interesting to see how few people have climbed certain 13ers and I'm surprised that others have been climbed by so many.

Nice work Bill. This is a very cool feature that I'm sure will influence a few folks on what peaks they choose to pursue.

Can't wait to be the first father of two kids to climb all the peaks with 25 - 50 ascents. #sponsors

Some of the numbers were surprising to me, too

Nice work, as always. One thing though, many people (including myself) probably don't bother to check the boxes for 13ers once climbed. I'm thinking K2 has been summited by more than shown, and likely others.
