Colorado 14ers
It took me just over three years to hike all 59 of the Colorado 14ers with my first summit on August 6, 2003, on Mount Democrat, and my final summit on August 26, 2006, on Huron Peak. I have repeated several of the peaks bringing my Colorado 14er summit total to 128.
To be ranked, a peak must rise at least 300' above the saddle that connects it to the nearest 14er if one exists nearby. This guideline has been the standard in use in Colorado for quite some time. The unofficial Colorado 14ers listed above are not ranked because they do not fit this criteria, but are listed here because they are named and recognized on USGS maps. North Massive is not recognized on a USGS map; however, I have included the peak to be all inclusive for my 14er list.

| 2005 | 18 | 30.5% |
| 2006 | 14 | 23.7% |
