	Peak bagging Information
		Peak bagging (also hill bagging, mountain bagging, or among enthusiasts, just bagging) is a popular activity for hillwalkers and mountaineers in which they attempt to reach the summit of each peak in a region above some height, or having a particular feature.
		In peak bagging, the targets are the peaks of mountains or hills, and the popular lists usually require that the target pass some threshold of prominence.
		Traditional climbers or adventurers may argue that bagging devalues the experience of climbing in favour of the achievement of reaching some arbitrary point on a map; that bagging reduces climbing to the status of stamp collecting or train spotting; that is seen by some as obsessive and beside the point.

		I'm not a big fan of the term "Peak Bagging" but it's become very popular.
		If you have a list and intend to climb some or all of these peaks, you are likely on a bagging mission.
		Some peaks get so much traffic that even well-maintained routes may be doomed to a weak condition in the years ahead.

	Brian Rachford's hiking and peak bagging stats
		Note that a "ranked" peak is one that rises at least "X" feet from the highest saddle (the "key saddle") that connects it to a higher peak.
		You can see from my stats that I generally prefer high peaks to "prominent" peaks, but nowadays most of my ascents are very frequent short hikes on my local peaks with the occasional excursion to other parts of Arizona or to the high peaks of Colorado.
		Apropos the previous table, I was at or below the elevation of the key saddle on all but 3 of the 97 ranked Colorado peaks, and in all cases satisfied this criterion in a dayhike as opposed to a multi-day ascent.

	What are Peak Baggers?
		Peak baggers are mountaineers who try to ascend a full “set” of peaks, such as the highest peak on every continent, every fourteener in America, or another similar goal.
		Difficult peak bagging lists like The Seven Summits are usually considered to be a life goal: few peak baggers in the world have successfully climbed Mount Everest, Aconcagua, Mount McKinley, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson Massif, and Puncak Jaya.
		Peak baggers are sometime criticized by other climbers because some of them take risks to achieve their goals such as climbing during inclement weather or without partners.

	Are You a Peak Bagger?
		No true peak bagger will ever accept that he\she (but much more likely “he”) suffers from the condition because it also carries with it the label of “sad person”.
		New Age peak baggers sometimes resort to information technology (secreting the List through use of a password instead of a mattress) and may even spend vast sums on CD ROMs with sophisticated lists.
		Peak baggers are usually anoraks, devoid of any inherent features of distinction.

	Mount Whitney Hike
		This notion began on our first visit to California back in 1993, when we were awestruck by a peak called Mount Whitney—it was love at first sight, so to speak, and we decided immediately that if we were ever in good enough shape that we would attempt to summit that mountain.
		Luckily, the 48 hours between the White Mountain Peak attempt and the Mt Whitney climb erased her memory enough that she decided to give it a go and get as far as she could on the trail.
		We hiked down to the shore of the lake for a spectacular view of Thor Peak towering over the green water—back on the main trail we started to gain some elevation via a series of switchbacks, until we were high above the lake, it was along this section that the trees began to disappear.

	Peak-bagging from Langdale - Walk
		Scafell Pike is invariably busy and if you want some peace and quiet, wander over the boulders to the south peak, and contemplate the relative peace of Eskdale, way down below (photo) and contemplate the routes to Scafell (photo) for another day.
		Climb to the summit - the screes and crags of Great Gable are a fine sight, as is Wasdale Head and its surrounding peaks (photo) - and visit the top of the northwest face for a view down the gullies that split the cliff (photograph of Central Gully).
		The fourth of the Crinkles from this direction is the highest point, and unless you wish to bag Cold Pike and Pike o'Blisco there seems little point in braving the "Bad Step" just to gather the fifth Crinkle.

	Peak Bagging in New Hampshire NH White Mountains
		The criterion used by the Marshall brothers and Herb Clark was that each peak be at least 0.75 miles distant from the nearest higher summit, or that it rise at least 300 vertical feet on all sides.
		The criterion used by the AMC FTFC to define a "peak" is that it must rise 200 feet above the low point of its connecting ridge with a higher neighbor.
		I have put together some notes on routes to the NH peaks, in which I discuss the various options for getting to each of the NH Fours during the normal hiking season (Memorial Day to Columbus Day).

	TAC 36: Allowing for measurement error - a principled approach to peak bagging
		- then we would know whether a peak mapped as 914 metres was over or under the magic 914.4 (the metric equivalent of 3000ft).
		The reason why the OS declines to quote decimal places is that the measurements aren't that accurate.
		If your objective is to climb Munros, or Corbetts, or some other named list, then fine; but if it is to climb all Scottish 3000ft hills, all English 2000s, or whatever, then a "probabilistic" approach will give a much greater degree of confidence of achieving your aim.

		Nichols is what hikers and climbers call a "peak bagger." The term refers to someone who doesn't merely want to take a casual hike - but rather someone who wants to "bag," or climb, summit after summit after summit.
		To keep the peak experiences coming, Nichols has worked with hiker Bob Martin, considered by many as the dean of Arizona peak baggers, to compile the statewide list of 7,200 peaks and high points.
		Peak, summit, mountaintop, high point - whatever you call it, peak baggers acknowledge that not everyone will understand their need to get there.

		It is really awesome to get to the summits and look around at all the other peaks and be able to say, "I did that and that and that and those over there!" Usually I have to depend on my hiking buddies to identify them.

		Peak bagging is most commonly defined as climbing a peak or peaks for the primary purpose of checking that peak off a list of some sort that the hiker is "working on." Many feel that this is anathema to the very idea of what hiking is all about!
		To be a member of this club you must climb, on foot to and from each of the summits on "the list." Most of the trails to the peaks on this list are very well travelled and you'll find that even the most remote climbs on the list are visited often.
		In addition, they require you to do each peak individually as a seperate hike and that you do 72 hours of volunteer trail work before you can be an "official" member of the club.
