The Winter 2010 issue of Trail & Timberline (http://www.cmc.org/Upload/ArticlesDirectory/22.pdf) has the following in a "Happy Birthday" message to Virginia Nolan on page 13:

"First woman (and 3rd person) to reach the summits of all 69 peaks above 14,000 feet in the lower 48 states. (Guinness Book of World Records Holder)"

	Brian Kalet	Re: Virginia Nolan
	Hasn't voted	I'm curious which peaks are included in her list of 69. I've contacted CMC in order to learn more. I also see no listing of any US mountaineering accomplishments in my 1999 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Thanks for the information.

	Hasn't voted	I just spoke with Woody Smith, volunteer historian for the CMC, and he claimed Virginia Nolan's list included 54 from CO, 14 from CA and 1 from WA.
