13ers and 14ers in the Prominence list

[DSunwall]

How many of the ranked 13ers and 14ers are there in the 1000'+ prominent peak list?

And how many county high points are ranked 13ers & 14ers and in the top 100 and 1000'+ prominence list?

On each Member Area Index, there is a 'View List' Option with a drop-down to sort by elevation (descending).

As far as finding what to update:
My suggestion is to peruse each list after you login to see what is left that you have done (currently ones you have checked do not show up again when you login to update).

Of the top 422 most prominent peaks (according to Ryan's list), there are 37 fourteeners; 74 thirteeners, 89 twelvers, 55 eleveners, 51 tenners, 49 niners, 50 eighters, 12 seveners, and 5 sixers. Of course, they're all ranked, otherwise they wouldn't be on the 1000' prominence list.

I believe there are 31 1000P summits that make up county highpoints:

Alamosa/Costillla - Blanca Pk - 14,345
Archuleta - Summit Peak - 13,300
Boulder - Longs Peak - 14,255
Chaffee - Mt. Harvard - 14,420
Conejos - Conejos Pk - 13,172
Delta - Mt. Lamborn - 11,396
Dolores - Mt. Wilson - 14,246
Douglas - Thunder Butte - 9,836
Eagle - Mt. of the Holy Cross - 14,005
El Paso - Pikes Peak - 14,110
Fremont - Bushnell Pk - 13,105
Garfield - Flattop Mtn - 12,354
Grand - Pettingell Pk - 13,553
Gunnison/Pitkin - Castle Peak - 14,265
Hinsdale - Uncompahgre Pk - 14,309
Jackson - Clark Pk - 12,951
La Plata - Mt. Eolus - 14,083
Lake - Mt. Elbert - 14,433
Larimer - Hagues Pk - 13,560
Las Animas - W. Spanish Pk - 13,626
Mineral - Phoenix Pk - 13,895
Moffat - Black Mtn - 10,860
Montezuma - Hesperus Mtn - 13,232
Ouray - Mt. Sneffels - 14,150
Park - Mt. Lincoln - 14,286
Pueblo - Greenhorn Mtn - 12,347
Rio Grande - Bennett Pk - 13,203
Routt - Mt. Zirkel - 12,180
Saguache - Crestone Pk - 14,294
San Juan - Vermillion Pk - 13,894
Summit/Clear Crk - Grays Pk - 14,270

Fourteeners make up 14 of these cohp's; thirteeners make up 10 of these cohp's; twelvers make up 4 of these cohp's; eleveners make up 1 of these cohp's; tenners make up 1 of these cohp's; and niners make up 1 of these cohp's.

Hopefully I didn't miss any of these.

Thanks Kirk,

89 of the 12ers, 12ers are on average more prominent than the 13ers, why do you suppose that is?

John, for the 13ers you start the rank at 54, but with the 12ers you start over at 1, why not start at 638?

Good suggestion, Dwight. Also easy to change - it is done.

Great site John, I like having all these tick lists in one spot! This will inspire me to pay more attention to the rest of the mountains when I am out hiking.

Distribution of prominence peaks by elevation is an interesting thing to look at. My guess is that there are more 12ers (not that many more on average, though.... 12.7% of 13ers vs. 13.2% of 12ers) because there are only select places in the state that exceed 13K'. It's "easier" to exceed 12K' than 13K', if that makes any sense. So because prominence rewards highpoints of an area, and because 12ers can be found in more parts of the state, I'm thinking that that's your reason.

Aaron Maizlah at his peaklist.org site has some analysis of prominence distribution but he's looking at something a little different. Specifically, he's shown how even if you know an area has a lot of 5K' prominence peaks (like Alaska), you cannot draw any conclusions about the number of 2K' or 1K' peaks that area also contains. I'm thinking that if someday there is good set of world-wide prominence data, people might better understand patterns of erosion and maybe some other interesting geological errata.
