Heather Ryan (hr011242) finishes the Colorado 13ers!

[daway8]

Woohoo - that's some impressive endurance to stick with it long enough to push through that list!

[andreasansone]

Amazing !!!! So cool!!!! Great job!

[mschmalz]

Heather, I am happy for your incredible accomplishment. Onwards!

[bdloftin77]

So cool! What are your favorites, and more importantly... least favorites?

Thanks for asking this! That’s my favorite question to ask list completers when they finish (when I remember at least).

[nyker]

That's awesome. Congrats Heather!

[Will_E]

That girl is my hero! Congratulations!

[Istoodupthere]

Awesome accomplishment! Anyone have a rough idea as to how many people have completed the 13ers?

[cottonmountaineering]

great work and huge accomplishment!

Awesome accomplishment! Anyone have a rough idea as to how many people have completed the 13ers?

Chicago Transplant, himself a finisher, seems to have the most thorough list:

I saw John Prater's list of finishers, I saw another one in one of the other finisher threads in recent years that had dates and peaks that I had copied into a Word document, see below for an updated copy/paste of that list with some of the recently updated information added. The pre LiDAR completions are left in their original finish dates though many of the still active climbers have subsequently refinished.

There was also a question about if anyone finished the 13ers before the 14ers, well I came close by accident and LiDAR. I had finished the 53 ranked 14ers well before the 584 ranked 13ers, but when North Maroon was promoted I had to go back for that along with about 6 of the promoted 13ers. I managed to get North Maroon second to last and refinished the 13ers a month later on 13656 in the Sangres. There are several people who finished on Highest 200 peaks, so not everyone goes 14ers, Highest 100, Highest 200.

Finisher List as I know it, please send any corrections or in-fill information that I am missing if you have it!
