Not including my first visit of Pikes Peak as a kid, it took about 3 yrs and 8 mo. My first El Paso summit was Pikes on 8/23/03. I did most of the summits between the months of Oct & May. I see Pueblo county only has 9 ranked summits, so I may have to head down there next fall! One could knock those out in a few trips!

Nice going Kevin. Good to see some interest in the county lists. Alamosa Co is another one that could be completed in a few trips.

Having accompanied you on exactly one of these summits, Kevin, allow me to add my congratulations. I'm working on following in your footsteps!

Indeed - and once again the first (and currently only) completer despite how El Paso county completions display here:

For those not in-the-know, background for the re-completion is the summit location change on "Tuckaway Mountain"

Climbed the true high point of Tuckaway Mtn. today; my county completion in intact. The wind made the jump to the summit boulder rather interesting... My GPS showed 10,846 at the base of the summit boulder (in my hand), so I'm guessing maybe 10.850 as a revised figure?
Where are you, Doug?
