Lots of climber information is found at 7summits.com.

Most entries were compiled from information found on the Internet and similar sources.
These entries have not been reviewed by their respective climbers;
were not submitted by them; and they may have more summits to their credit.
These entries are indicated by "IN" for "incomplete".

Please send additional information to oldadit @ iname.com .

Adam Helman, the webmaster hosting these lists, adds the following
comment - one which Andy Martin did not want inserted.
Entries NOT of this nature, the minority, are indicated by "PROM" -
so emphasizing the individuals who ARE valid, prominence-oriented climbers;
or by "DOC" for those whose accomplishments are well documented.

Norman Clyde ? famous mountaineer
T.M. Bannon ? surveyor 1889-1915 when 50 peaks was a good season.
Ludwig Purtscheller ? 1700 peaks: see web page
a few New England Hikers 1,000+ ? They use 200 foot drop in New England, making it difficult
to accurately count the 300 foot drop peaks.

One-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 an expected prominence of 320 feet. We assume this peak meets the 300 foot prominence criterion.

Another way of stating this - assuming 40 foot contour intervals, the calculation formula should be 40 x N, where N is the number of contours above the saddle. This assumes summit and saddle elevations are not available.

1Marilyns are defined to have 150+ meters (492 feet) of prominence.

According to Alan Dawson, out of 1,552 Marilyns, only 178 are in England, 156 are in Wales, 1,213 are in Scotland and 5 are on the Isle of Man (one is joint English/Welsh). There are an additional 453 Marilyns on the whole island of Ireland, as listed by Clem Clements.
