Lists of mountains
Encyclopedia
There are many notable lists of mountains around the world. Typically, a list of mountains becomes notable by first being listed or defined by an author or group (e.g., Sir Hugh Munro defining the Munro
s in Scotland
). This list then becomes a popular target for peak bagging
, where a number of people attempt to climb all of the peaks in the list.
Alternatively, a list of mountains may become notable in the mountaineering
community as a challenge. An example of such a challenge list is the Seven Summits
defined by Richard Bass
