Wyoming 13ers Guidebook

Post by Eli Boardman »

So, I got the chance to re-finish the WY 13ers with a quick traverse of Miriam Peak from Titcomb to the Glacier Trail a couple days ago, and thus finished the current round of research for the guidebook I've been slowly putting together since 2020. The Wyoming 13ers have a strange pattern right now of almost everyone who finishes them doing so as part of an FKT, but I assume that others are likely interested in tackling a subset of these peaks at some point and/or going after the list one trip at a time.

Anyway, I finally finished this and thought some of y'all might be interested. I know there's no advertising on 14ers.com, but since most of the guidebook material is freely available online and the print copy only nets me a few dollars, I don't really consider this a money-making venture. Rather, it's a labor of love for my favorite peaks in the world.

A few features worth noting: in the online guidebook supplement, I've included interactive 360-degree panoramas for most peaks, so you can look around at the summit view, and there are thousands of pictures with a mix of route description and trip report-style narrative captions. The print guidebook has more heavily edited and updated route descriptions as well as a bunch of preliminary material on wilderness ethics/difficulties/approach hikes/history/etc.

Happy climbing. :)

I enjoyed reading your trip report for the FKT! Twice through I believe! Thanks for the effort you put into this. Will take a look soon.

Cool. I just ordered one.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Thanks everyone! It's been fun putting it together and getting to revisit photos from all these peaks.

Thanks Eli! I am sure based on your experience, this book will be mentioned next to Pallister and Kelsey. I will have to get a copy. Thanks for sharing from your adventures so freely.
