Ultra-prominent peaks in Europe
Public
For general information about what ultra-prominent peaks are, check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-prominent_peak A common issue is the question where the Europe/Asia border exactly lies. Since this is all about mountain prominence and orography, I also chose an orographical approach to this, leaving both the Caucasus and the Ural in Asia. Concerning islands: In general I put all islands to the continental landmass they're closest to. Thus Cyprus and the Canary Islands, for example, are not included. For this list I only count geocaches that lie closer than 0.1 miles to the actual summit. Mountain data source: https://peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=4920 and https://peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=497 At the moment 61 out of 103 Ultras in Europe have a summit geocache. Information about newly published caches on other Ultras (inside the borders mentioned above) are highly welcome!
