******************************************************************************** PROMINENT FRONTRUNNERS ******************************************************************************** This list tracks hikers from all over the globe who have impressive hikes/climbs of peaks with high prominence. Hopefullly it helps to popularize prominence based hiking. If you know of someone not listed that deserves recognition, please let us know. Compiled by Andy Martin. Email oldadit @ gmail.com with updates/revisions. List is online at: http://oldadit.googlepages.com/FRL.txt http://www.cohp.org Current as of April 30, 2009. ** = info added after April 30. Prominence is also know as "shoulder drop" in the USA, or just "drop" in England. It is defined as the elevation difference between a peak and the lowest contour that encircles it and no higher summit. See the Prominence section on www.cohp.org and the prominence site www.peaklist.org for further discussions on why prominence is a useful way to measure mountains. ******************************************************************************** WORLD WIDE ******************************************************************************** 1) Pick of the Planet World Top 50 by Prominence Map: http://peaklist.org/WWmaps/world50.jpg List: http://peaklist.org/WWlists/WorldTop50.html Cut point 11,598', Mount Blackburn 7 summits = Denali, Everest, Kili, Aconcagua, Carstenz, Vinson, Elbrus 7 islands = Carstenz, Gunnbjorn, Kinabalu, Kerinci, Fuji, Madagascar HP, Baffin HP Lots of climber info: http://7summits.com Most of this information was scrounged up from various web sites, and not sent in directly from the climbers.

Ludwig Purtscheller ? 1700 peaks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Purtscheller unknown 1,000+? a few New England Hikers They use 200' drop in N.E., makes it tough to accurately count the 300' drop peaks Note that half a contour interval can be added at unmarked summits and saddles. Thus an unmarked peak showing 7 full contour intervals of 40 feet (same as 8 actual rising contour lines between saddle and summit) can also add 20 feet for an interpolated summit height, and 20 feet more drop for the saddle, giving expected drop of 320', and we assume this peak meets the 300' drop criteria. Another way of stating this - assuming 40' contour intervals, the calculation formula should be 40xN, where N is the number of contour above the saddle. This assumes summit and saddle elevations are not available. We realize that 7 full contour intervals of 40 feet does not give a _proven_ 300 foot prominence, as we are requiring for 2K and 5K peaks. However, the 7 contour interval standard was in existence for 300' summits well before this FRL, so we continue to use it for historical reasons.

The current speed record for the Hyaku-Meizan is 66 days by Kazufumi Hirata. We can guesstimate that the Japanese top 50 prominence list is completed, and considerable progress (accidental or on purpose) has been made on the 100, 200, and 400 lists 11) Mexico Mexico 50 finest by prominence http://oldadit.googlepages.com/mexico.finest.pdf 16 Bob Packard 11 Adam Helman 9 Gordon MacLeod 9 Rodulfo Araujo http://www.xpmexico.com/ 7 Barbara Lilley Mexico summits (per Otis McAllister listing.

Includes SD, ND, NE, OK, AR, MO, IL, WI, MN, MI, OH, IA, IN and KS See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/prominence/files/Heartland 46 Bill Schuler, 41 Hans Haustein AR 15 Hans Haustein ******************************************************************************** NOTES ******************************************************************************** 50! = all of the top 50 peaks climbed, 1 to 50 100! = all of the top 100 peaks climbed, 1 to 100 @ = after name for "club rules" completers who did not summit peaks where no trespassing rules are currently in effect all year long. In this case, the peak(s) that just missed the cut are added to replace the one(s) where access is prohibited. The peak(s) missing are listed in [] $ = Every 2000'P peak (proven prominence) in this region was climbed, and the number listed is the total number of 2000'P peaks in this region. In the USA only states with 30 or more of these peaks are tracked. See RULES section E. for more info. ******************************************************************************** RULES ******************************************************************************** Note that these guidelines only apply to this FRL Others are free to come up with their own "rules" for their own FRLs. A. Difficulty No difficulty waivers. B. Access not allowed If access is prohibited on peak in question 365 days a year, and you have the skill and desire needed to climb it, and you are prevented from reaching the top by your moral code and/or the access barriers in place, you can replace it with a lower peak to claim list completion. Please do not request this waiver for a peak you do not have the skills and desire to climb. The lower peak(s) are the ones immediately below the cutoff for the list in question. This completion will be noted a such. For example: NV 50! John Vitz@ [Bald Mountain] Indicates Bald Mountain was skipped due to bad access - active patrols of a secret military base in this case. Peak #51 on the NV list, North Peak, is climbed in place of Bald Mountain. Note that if access on Bald Mountain is opened, John will probably want to climb it, and remove the "@". The current maintainer of this FRL, Andy Martin, believes that a peak that is both very difficult and has bad access, like Spider Rock AZ or Kauai high point HI, should not be eligible for the access waiver. This policy is subject to change in the future. Those who believe they are being discriminated against can: 1. Specify the peak that is blocking your completion 2. Provide the name of a peak or route you have climbed as a replacement that is as hard or harder than this peak. C. Mechanized transport. Reaching or traveling close to a summit with assist of mechanized ground transport such as car, truck, 4wd, snow-cat, ski tram, cog RR, etc. is allowed in this FRL. Draft ground animal assist (horses, mules, llamas, etc) is allowed. All forms of water transport are allowed. This means that the Colorado Mountain Club guideline requesting a minimal 3000' vertical gain on the way up a peak is not used. However, hikers are encouraged to record on their peak lists when mechanized transport was used. For example, on peaks that I used mechanized transport they are noted with: AU = Drove auto close to top AU+ = Auto + short walk TK = Drove truck close to top JP = Drove 4wd close to top TRAM = Took cable tramway close to top COGRR = Took cog RR close to top Aerial modes of transport directly to the summit, or past standard base camps, are not allowed. This includes planes, choppers, hang gliders, parachutes, space shuttle, and other aerial modes of transport. Descent from the summit with hang glider or parachute that you have carried up there carries no penalty. D. Volcanic eruptions and other height changes We note the pre-eruption prominence of Saint Helens was 5917', a good bit higher than the current 4605+. Thus when Bob Bolton climbed Saint Helens he could claim both a "top 10" WA prominence ascent, and a top 50 lower 48 ascent. (Saint Helens was #28 in lower 48 prominence prior to May 18, 1980.) Those who climb Saint Helens today can make neither of these claims. The pertinent categories are Lower 48 USA (the 50 best by prominence in lower 58) and The Worlds top 1000 by prominence My take on these is: Lower 48 USA - you can claim either CA Lassen Peak Lassen Peak 31N4E 5,217+ or pre eruption Saint Helens as counting for this list, but not both (No Bob, you can't claim 51 of Americas 50 finest by prominence). The Worlds top 1000 by prominence Pre-eruption Saint Helens ascents get credit for full prominence at that time, thus Bob gets to count this while those climbing the peak these days do not. E. List errors. If you complete a list that is later found to have errors, you are still a completer, and need not hike additional peaks. However, if you have not yet completed the list, you need to take the corrections into account. This "Grandfather" rule is similar to the one used by the state High Pointers, and is designed to protect deceased and disabled completers. Note that living completers (and ambulatory zombies :) should consider tackling the corrected list, in the FRL is ever overrun by purists. F. What is a 2,000' prominence peak ? For purposes of this FRL list a 2,000' peak is one proven to have at least 2,000' prominence, either by current and accurate maps, or by trustworthy survey data. Proven prominence is also referred to as "clean" prominence by some hikers. This means that "maybe 2000' prominence" peaks are not counted for Century club totals. For locations without accurate maps, additional data like hand held GPS readings, barometric readings, and satellite data may be used, as long as an adequate "safety factor" is employed. This issue also comes into play on the category $ - Every 2000'P peak (proven prominence) in this region was climbed, and the number listed is the total number of 2000'P peaks in this region. In the USA only states with 30 or more of these peaks are tracked. This FRL does not require you to also hike every peak in a region that might have 2,000' prominence, once all uncertainties are resolved. However prudent hikers might wish to go ahead and hike these as well, in case this FRL ever falls into the hands of a purist. G. Eligibility Open to all humans on earth - past, present, and future. ** Not open to other species. ** Infants and others carried to the summit must indicate the number of caries in their totals. ******************************************************************************** FUTURE EXPANSION ******************************************************************************** This FRL could be expanded to include: 1. Add "possible" categories for 2,000', 5,000', etc. prominence. 2. County prominence completions - contact Edward Earl 3. All 2000' completions in states with 10 or more of these (would open up several eastern states) 4. Mechanized speed records 5. Radius from home categories - with and without Canada and Mexico peaks in consideration. 6. Hikes of 1000 meters, 4000', etc prominence. 7. etc, etc. However, a list maintainer will have to be found for these, or Andy's salary will have to be increased.
