This might be worth including in the peaks list.

According to Joseph Kramarsic's book Mountaineering in the Park Range-A Guide to Mountains of the Mount Zirkel-Dome Peak Wilderness Area", the following are either local or historic names for the following peaks:

Peak 11,931 = "Peggy Peak" (local name for the mountain-near Peggy Lake)
Peak 11,810 = "Goosenest" (named by Ormes-Colorado Skyline book).
Peak 11,705 = "Anvil Horn" (Ormes)
Peak 11,577 = "Mount Hobbs" (historic name for this mountain known since the settlement of Steamboat Springs).
Peak 11,543 = "The Forehead" (Ormes)
