Some of these places are my favorites in memory, and I’d rather go revisit them than tackle every 12er on a list. That’s just me and I’m not hating on anyone who wants to climb the planet, but I digress. I also can’t wait to snowboard down Ski Hayden regardless of its peak or non-peak status because it looks fun!
totally! I'd rather do 13er repeats than dive into a new 12er list. Besides, after closely following KevinB and SarahT shenanigans, some of these 12ers look pretty darn challenging. SkiHayden been on the list for 5 years at least, but we have stopped having winters.
Anyways, yahoo for mountains!! (But slinging actual curses to Yahoo Mountain.)
Darn, y'all are scaring me with this one.
I love my repeats haha, I probably would have finished faster if I didn't. People listen to the same songs, eat at the same restaurants, ski the same runs - so why wouldn't we repeat the same peaks! Plus too much private property on the 12ers to want to mess with that list
Yahoo is easy, it's just a bump in between Hermit and Eureka that is easier to go around than over so a lot of people pass below it without tagging it.

I had always wondered about this one, I've done it twice and it had map prominence of 279, just short of being an old school softie. Certainly felt like a peak reclimbing it to get back to Poplar Gulch trail. https://listsofjohn.com/mapf?lat=38.735 ... 15&d=y&d=r

Yep, this one is on my personal list of unranked peaks as "Coal Camp Peak", definitely feels like a peak when going over it twice.
13,369 southeast of Tijeras is another of my personal unrankeds. Have not checked yet to see if it's in Ben's list.

I met Ben and Whiley for the first time on 13626 up the ridge from “Coal Creek Peak”. We hiked that ridge together for a while. Ben and I definitely chatted about it seeming like a peak for not being on the list when we were up there so cool to see that one pop up.
Also looking forward to repeats. There’s so many peaks you do early on and don’t go back to for a while. Excited to revisit many places and do different routes.

That's it. I just mapped all the points, https://caltopo.com/m/0FF944G. Should be fun to browse through these!
One of them is near Pikes Peak, on the ridge on the other side of the highway from Devils Playground. One of the few I’ve done!
