The mountains in Scandinavia in my language are called simply Gory Skandynawskie, which means... guess... The Scandinavian Mountains
I found that probably the 'last first ascent' in the Tatras took place in 1952 when Tadeusz Orlowski and Wawrzyniec Zulawski climbed Ladova Straznica (Slovak)/Kapalkowa Straznica (Polish), a little needle in the Slovak part of the range. Maybe there are some small protrusions without winter ascents yet, just because no one could be bothered to drag their arses up there in winter
The few french people who know what these mountains are, when they know a bit of geography, call them the "Alpes Scandinaves" (same in english with alps). But I must say I prefer Scandes as it is shorter and more original, we have enough alps apart from the original ones ! (the Dinaric ones, the Transylvanian ones, etc).
As for the question of knowing which pinnacles are still unclimbed, sure there are, and the smallest we count them, the more they are ! And we get back to the eternal question: "from when a mountain starts to be a mountain ?"
(primary factor, distance from nearest, overlooking height, etc..)
So in my opinion searching where are the unclimbed mountains is not the real question. It is : "which biggest mountains remain unclimbed"...
