Dynamic Table of Alpine 4000ers
The problem was already reported in the Forum.
Until it is solved, the page will not work and will look strange.
If you use a current browser with Javascript enabled, you may adapt the tabledependent on your needs, after the page is COMPLETELY loaded:
You can hide most table columns by using the column selector in front of the table (e.g. for printing, if you just want to print the mountainnames and their height).
You may sort by different criteria by clicking on the tableheaders (clickable headers changetheir color if you move the mouse over them).
For a more detailed description of the functionality see section 2.

Selecting columns:
The column selector in front of the table contains checkboxes, where you can select which columns you want to display. The first checkbox selects/unselects ALL other checkboxes.
The minimum amount of colums is the rank, main and minor summit name.
Sorting: Clickable column headers change the color if you move the mouse over them.
If clicked, the table will be sorted by this column. Clicking the same column twice reverses the sort order for this column.
Sort criteria:
- default order - height: if sorted by height, there are no control breaks between sortgroups, there will be just all summits sorted by elevation, and column 1 will display a consecutive number.
- main summit name: If the summits are well known by different names (e.g. from different languages), I try to show all names, separated with a slash.
Every main summit may contain some minor summits. That way you see how many summits belong to the respective mountain. Every new main summit is a control break, where the number in column 1 resets. - group: Here you see how many summits belong to each mountain group. Every new group is a control break, where the number in column 1 resets.
- UIAA: That shows the UIAA list, sorted by major and minor summits. The major and the minor list start is a control break, where the number in column 1 resets.
- the other columns: Just shows the list of the respective alpinists on top.
Some Remarks
When is a summit a summit ?
In the next section you can read how UIAA answered that question, but I give also a short introduction to 3 mountaineers who created also such a list.
The current list above is a combined table of the 4 above mentioned lists.
A few words: The table contains direct links to all summits on SP, so that people can easily see (red text color) which mountains are still missing on SummitPost.
If you add a new mountain page for one of the missing summits, please let me know (at best via PM), so that I can include it!
For the minor summits I either linked the main mountain page, or, if that is a better fit, a route page (e.g. at Pic Tyndall at Matterhorn, or the Bosses knolls at the Gouter route, Mont Blanc).
If you think there is for something somewhere a better fit, please let me also know.
However, all of that depends more on subjective taste than anything else, so please let's discuss these issues, I'm open for any recommendations for changes, if they are well founded.
UIAA: List Info
Basics:
- A summit in the broadest sense of the word is a point which has a higher altitude compared to the surrounding flatlands,
- Each summit must be autonomous, must be of mountaineering interest and must own other properties to count as a 4000er,
- An ascertained amount of summits with defined morphological properties fulfills this criteria automatically and is just added to the list. For other summits at the border of acceptability, criteria were defined which will be described below.
- This list was made especially for mountaineers, and is therefore not only based on topografical criteria, but also on other, more subjective, criteria, which may change with the evolution of mountaineering.
- Topografical: to fulfill this criteria, the summit must have more than 30m (approx. 100 feet) height difference to the next neighboring notch or saddle. The horizontal distance (if to close) to the face of a neighboring mountain can be also taken into consideration.
- Morphological: takes the overall structure of the peak into consideration (e.g. for shoulders, knolls, pre-summits),
- Mountaineering: the importance of the summit from a mountaineering standpoint, e.g. qualitative, historical or often climbed.
Currently in my list above the "official" summits are marked with "main", and the summits of the extended list with "minor".
Karl Blodig: List Info
His list of 61 summits was at the time of his life undisputed (he climbed 68, but only declared 61 as "summits" in his book).
He wrote a book about these ascents: "Die Viertausender der Alpen".
Will McLewin: List Info
Will McLewin (born 1940) is an english mountaineer, who was the first Briton known to climb all 4000ers without guides, and many of them solo.His list contains 53 main and 39 minor summits, so a sum of 92.
Richard Goedeke: List Info
His list is the biggest and contains 181 points of interest, which cannot be necessarily all called summits. He differentiates of course between main summits and minor summits.
However, I liked his complete list, because it can be used as a reference for all of the others.
Why Is There No Link For This Summit ?
- Mont Blanc (Frêney Gr. Chandelle): want to link it to a currently not existing route page (Freney buttress)
- Pic Luigi Amadeo: There is currently no mountain page on SP for it, but I would also link it to the Brouillard ridge route, if it would exist.
- Mont Blanc (S-ridge, Grande Pilier d'Angle): want to link it to a currently not existing route page (Peuterey ridge)
- Picco Muzio: want to link it to a currently not existing route page (Furggen ridge)
- Grande Rocheuse: Could link it to Aiguille Verte, though I would prefer a separate mountain page
- Mont Brouillard: There is currently no mountain page on SP
- Dôme de Rochefort: There is currently no mountain page on SP, though there is one for the lower Aiguille de Rochefort
- Grande Rocheuse (P.4015 at Col Armand Charlet): belongs to above mentioned missing mountain page
- Punta Baretti: I would link it to the mountain page of Mont Brouillard, which is still missing
- Mont Brouillard (southwest ridge head): belongs to above mentioned missing mountain page
If you have added a page which covers one of the missing peaks above, please let me know that via mail or my summitpost inbox, because I'm not very often logged in except in autumn, and I usually don't check every time if there is a new page available.
I would be happy to add any missing links.
