List Of Mountains Of The British Isles By Height
This article provides access to lists of mountains in Britain and Ireland by height and by prominence. (See Lists of mountains below.) Height and prominence are the most important metrics for the classifications of mountains by the UIAA; with isolation a distant third criterion. The list is sourced from the '' Database of British and Irish Hills'' ("DoBIH") for peaks that meet the consensus height threshold for a mountain, namely ; the list also rules out peaks with a prominence below and thus, the list is therefore precisely a list of the 2,756 Simms in the British Isles (as at October 2022). Many classifications of mountains in the British Isles consider a prominence between as being a "top", and not a mountain; however, using the prominence threshold gives the broadest possible list of mountains. For a ranking of mountains with a higher prominence threshold use: * List of Marilyns in the British Isles, for ranking by height and by prominence, of peaks with prominence ov ...

Lists Of Mountains And Hills In Britain And Ireland
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole". Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help ...

Maoile Lunndaidh
Maoile Lunndaidh or Maoil Lunndaidh is a Scottish mountain situated 13 km south of Achnasheen in the Ross and Cromarty district of the Highland council area. It is part of the high ground between Loch Monar and Gleann Fhiodhaig. Overview Maoile Lunndaidh is a large and remote mountain, covering an area in excess of . Its location is almost equidistant from the valleys of Strathconon, Strathfarrar and Glen Carron, the nearest public road being over 10 km away. The mountain is listed in the current edition of Munro's Tables as in elevation. This height dates from the introduction of the 1:50k OS map series in the 1970s. However the current 1:25000 map shows a spot height of , in better agreement with the trigonometric height of on old 6-inch maps (equivalent to 1004.1 metres after conversion to the Newlyn datum). Maoile Lunndaidh has been described as "the flattest of bulks"."Hamish‘s Mountain Walk" Page 274 Gives quote: “Flattest of bulks”. Its extensive ...

List Of Murdo Mountains
This is a list of Murdo mountains in Scotland by height. Murdos are defined as Scottish mountains over in height and with a prominence over ; a mix of imperial and metric thresholds. Cartographer Alan Dawson first compiled the list of Murdos in 1995 to provide an objective and quantitative alternative to the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") definition of a Munro, which has the same height threshold but a qualitative requirement of "sufficient separation", instead of prominence. The SMC does not maintain an official list of Murdos, unlike all its other Scottish mountain and hill classifications, . However, all Murdos are either SMC Munros or SMC Munro Tops. Dawson's threshold was in line with the 1994 International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation declaration that an "independent peak" had to have a prominence of over . , there were 442 Murdos identified in Scotland. Most definitions of mountains in the British Isles consider peaks with a prominence between a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
List Of Munro Mountains
This is a list of Munro mountains and Munro Tops in Scotland by height. Munros are defined as Scottish mountains over in height, and which are on the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") official list of Munros. In addition, the SMC define Munro Tops, as Scottish peaks above that are not considered Munros. Where the SMC lists a Munro Top, due to "insufficient separation", it will also list the "Parent Peak", a Munro, of the Munro Top. As of 6 September 2012, there were 282 Scottish Munros after the SMC confirmed that Beinn a' Chlaidheimh had been downgraded to a Corbett and as of 10 December 2020, there were 226 Scottish Munro Tops after Stob Coire na Cloiche, a Munro Top to Parent Peak Sgùrr nan Ceathramhnan, was surveyed at 912.5m and was deleted as a Munro Top and downgraded to a Corbett Top. The current SMC list totals 508 summits. While the SMC does not use a prominence metric for classifying Munros, all but one of the 282 Munros have a prominence above , the exceptio ...

Lists Of Mountains In Ireland
In these lists of mountains in Ireland, those within Northern Ireland, or on the Republic of Ireland – United Kingdom border, are marked with an asterisk, while the rest are within the Republic of Ireland. Where mountains are ranked by height, the definition of the topographical prominence used to classify the mountain (e.g. the change in elevation required between neighbouring mountains), is noted. In British definitions, a height of is required for a mountain, whereas in Ireland, a lower threshold of is sometimes advocated. The lowest minimum prominence threshold of any definition of an Irish mountain is (e.g. the Lists of mountains and hills in the British Isles#Vandeleur-Lynams, Vandeleur-Lynam), however most definitions, including the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) criteria, do not consider prominences below as being mountains (e.g. must at least be an Lists of mountains and hills in the British Isles#Arderins, Arderin or a Lists of mounta ...

Caher West Top
Caher West Top () at , is the fifth-highest peak in Ireland on the Irish Lists of mountains in Ireland#Vandeleur-Lynams, Vandeleur-Lynam classification, and part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks range. Caher West Top is the only List of Furths, Furth to have a prominence below . Geography The mountain is located about 500 metres west of Caher (mountain), Caher East Top and is part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks of County Kerry. Caher West Top is often climbed as part of the ''Carrauntoohil#Coomloughra Horseshoe, Coomloughra Horseshoe'', which takes 6-8 hours and is described as "one of Ireland’s classic ridge walks". The horseshoe takes in other neighbouring peaks such as Carrauntoohil, Beenkeragh, The Bones (including the ''Beenkeragh Ridge''), Skregmore, and Cnoc Iochtair. Climbers refer to the narrow path that runs along the top of Caher West Top and neighboring Caher, as ''Caher Ridge''. Caher West Top is regarded by the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") as one o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
