I couldn't think of any college names, so I didn't do too well. :lol: But I've only been on the summits of 5 of those 100, two of which were drive-ups. :oops:

I probably shouldn't even try this. I'm so bad with names and elevations anymore...

I'll give it a shot, but don't say I didn't warn you!

56 out of 100

I got lots of the thirteeners. The 14ers just have not mattered much to me and I guess it shows. I forgot about Pikes, Shavano, Challenger, Lindsey, Pyramid, Humboldt and Columbia Pt. I couldn't get the spelling right on TABEGUACHE! Got the four unofficial 14ers, which our resident geek did not care to incorporate into his list!

13ers I got: Grzzly, Stewart, Pigeon, Adams, Meeker, Red, Horseshoe, Vestal, Jones and Rio Grande Pyramid.

I would never get them all, and I've climbed most of these peaks, some numerous times.

Yeesh. :?


Fun game!

Glad you are all having fun!

The FL Highest 100 would be interesting to see, I wonder if Epcot would be on the list? :lol:

Aaron, I added the "unranked" ones as bonus answers because I knew people would be typing "Conundrum" with 12 different spellings wondering why it wasn't popping up if I didn't. :wink:

I have a headache now - I only got 49 because my memory is so bad. My typing is awesome - maybe I need to team up with someone! LOL very fun but humbling.

Great quiz! 88/100
I actually missed 5 14ers. Can't believe that.
Got 9 peaks not on the list.

Steven, you missed a mountain that includes part of your own NAME? :lol:

Don't feel bad...both of my attempts at this quiz I missed Lincoln, Bross & Democrat...I could practically fall out the front door or my cabin, roll my car over Redhill Pass and be at the foot of those peaks. Pretty funny.

Thats funny. I forgot that Holy Cross has my last name in it. Its funny what we forget when our minds are racing, even if they are staring you in the face!
