unclimbed peaks in Europe
Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 10:02 pm
I'm opening this thread inspired by recent similar threads about N.America.
Info about unclimbed peaks in Europe is hard to find, simply because there aren't many of them and if there are any, they must be really at the back of beyond. Otherwise they would be well known and climbed long ago in our totally explored little continent.
Are there any unclimbed 'uns, or first climbed let's say in the last 10 years? I know of a few in Albania, even made one rather certain and one possible FA there. There's one 2000-er in Bosnia & Herzegovina (Prenj mtns) that had its probable FA some time in 2000-03 if I remember correctly. But where else - elsewhere in the Balkans, Caucasus, Scandinavia, Picos de Europa in Spain, something in the more remote corners of the Alps? And are they major peaks (for the standard of their range) or only minor protrusions? We're not counting Greenland of course - it has unclimbed mountains galore but it doesn't geographically belong to Europe
