This table shows counts by year and various prominence categories for a climber, plus overall totals.
The default is to count only unique peaks climbed, but there is a link above for showing counts of all ascents, which includes multiple ascents of the same peak.
Each column refers to a commonly used prominence cutoff for peaks. You can select either metric or foot-based ranges.
The "All Peaks" column shows all peaks that have any prominence at all, even those with 1 meter (or 1 foot) of prominence.
The "All Points" column will include "liner" highpoints and other zero-prominence spots in the Peakbagger database.
When using the Home or Foreign country options, note that peaks on the boundary of your home country are counted as "Home" but not as "Foreign", to avoid double-counting.

Also, for this page only, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey are considered to be part of the U.K. for Home/Foreign purposes.

Non-summit goal hikes to places not in the Peakbagger database are not counted in any column.
Global total counts for peaks in the ranges from 30m to 1000m (100 ft to 3000 ft) are taken from Andrew Kirmse's master prominence analysis.
There are no global counts for all peaks and all points. These totals would be impossible to determine or theoretically infinite.
