Description

The Rocky Mountains Grand Slam is a challenge to climb all the major peaks of the American Rockies – the Colorado 14ers, Wyoming 13ers, and Montana 12ers – in one push. This includes the generally-accepted lists of 58 14ers in Colorado, 35 13ers in Wyoming, and 27 12ers in Montana, for a total of 120 peaks. These peaks all meet the same standard criteria of 300ft prominence cutoff, except for the five extra Colorado peaks (El Diente, North Maroon, North Eolus, Cameron, Conundrum) that are generally included in 14er lists for historical reasons.
