Alps 4000m Peak Challenge

Depending on how you count them up, there are between forty and eighty two peaks in the Alps over 4000m. I decided to climb them all (the forty list not the eighty two list). Here's how I'm doing:

* Listed in "The Alpine 4000 Peaks" as having more than 50m col depth, but not in the UIAA list
** On the UIAA list but fails to meet 35m col depth criteria. The UIAA folks added these for "other reasons".
*** Climbed, but not in "Birtle's 4000m peak list" so don't really count it
**** Whether I climbed it yet or not, and in what order (e.g., Breithorn was my first (1) peak)
