why aren’t half the fourteeners on here
like the west Spanish peak shouldn’t be on here when Humboldt, crestone needle, north maroon, and huron aren’t
Crestone and Maroon for example do answer, the source is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_highest_major_summits_of_the_United_States
who made this and where did you get your information? This is so innacurate
it’s off Wikipedia here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_highest_major_summits_of_the_United_States
don’t know what your source is?
He’s confused because you’re using a list of “major summits” which nobody really uses. Most people in the mountaineering community use a 100m/300 foot prominence cutoff to separate real mountains from subpeaks, not the 500m cutoff on this particular Wikipedia article.
i see – if you have a source showing the top 100 with the 100m/300ft cutoff I can use that.
Using 500m is unexpected and more challenging, but not necessarily bad — there is more diversity. I’d include the cutoff in the description to avoid creating frustration.
But for the 300′ rule: https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21201
Not sure about spoilers in the comments, but they changed the name of one peak in Colorado that you can drive up. Other name changes are being discussed.
I enjoy this quiz for what it is but I was having to guess a lot on which peaks counted, like Sill and Tyndall don’t for California even though they’re considered part of the 11 14ers. I don’t think hugequiz necessarily “has to” follow what peakbagger says though.
Being from Colorado really helped on this one
