I just bought Suttle's book and have found it to be understandably a little outdated, but still extremely helpful. I just compiled a list of the 10K+ peaks of Southern California. Check it out if you're interested here. I'd like some feedback, thanks.
I agree! I've tried to view a few other states and couldn't find an other map like this. Real cool. This is something that should be present for all highpoints whether county, state, or country!
The latter. I'm just interested, obviously people have different motivations in their climbing ambitions and I was wondering what was the motivation here. Cheers.
Probably the biggest draw is that it takes you to parts of the state or country you would never otherwise visit. Some of my most pleasant outings were to such places in California. Certainly it's a great deal different than standard mountaineering. More like a geography lesson with each hike.

MiffedCan I ask what the motivation is for trying to undertake something like this?

Re: Interactive MapYeah,
I was working on some Javascript to do that, but it didn't quite work out right. I think I'll simply disable that little feature.
