Thanks Steve. I was really dehydrated after #7. Rest and gatorade helped. John had a minor "energy drink crash" after #12, but a food stop in Del Norte solved that problem.
I agree, these peaks are fun but really don't lend themselves to detailed descriptions. For each one, just park, hike to the base, find a route, and walk/scramble up.
The order was: Indian Head, 8588B,9020E,9020A,8980B,8890C,8870,9033,8736,8758A,8790A,8630A,8265, 8757(aka "Burrito Peak"), Lookout Mtn. Last 3 after dark.
As far as snow, all south facing slopes are dry, but there are patches on many north sides. some of the dirt roads are covered, but overall snow didn't slow progress too much.
