Europeaklist (original) (raw)

Most of the lists on this website are selected by their 'topographic prominence' (also called 'drop') classification. This is a way of identifying separate hills and mountains. 'Prominence' or 'drop' can be defined as the difference between the height of a summit and the lowest point on the watershed connecting it with a higher summit. To learn more about 'prominence' see here. Many of the lists also feature a height criterion.

Enough of technicalities. Lists of hills and mountains are just a tool to get you into the great outdoors to enjoy the challenges and joys of hill-walking and mountaineering.

Many people have contributed to the information contained on this website. Their contributions are acknowledged in the hill and mountain lists you can download from the various pages below. Special thanks go to Jonathan de Ferranti. Jonathan has played a central role in both the Peaklist, Ribus and Europeaklist listing projects. Without his efforts, this website would not exist.

An introduction to this website, now rather out of date, by its author, can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ0FDbN_j5E.
