This is my personal list of Colorado 14ers (mountain summits over 14,000 feet in the state of Colorado) I have completed since moving to Colorado in late 2022.

I’m not sure I will ever complete all of the 14ers, especially the more technical ones, but I do want to at least keep track of how many I have tackled. So far, I’ve only done Class 1 and Class 2 routes to reach the summits of 14ers.

I completed two 14ers in 2023, and then one per year in 2024 and 2025: I hope to get out there a little more consistently in the future.
