Fourteener
In mountaineering terminology in the United States, a fourteener is a mountain that exceeds 14,000 feet (4,267.2 m) above mean sea level. There are 547 fourteeners in the world.[1] The importance of fourteeners is greatest in Colorado, which has the majority of such peaks in North America. Climbing all of Colorado's fourteeners is a popular pastime among peak baggers; another popular target is climbing all of the fourteeners in the contiguous United States. Various ski mountaineers have completed ski descents of all the Colorado fourteeners, and the first attempts are being made to complete ski descents of all U.S. fourteeners.[citation needed]
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation.
All elevations in the 48 states of the contiguous United States include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).[2] If a summit elevation or prominence has a range of values, the arithmetic mean is cited.

[edit] Qualification criteria
Not all summits over 14,000 feet qualify as fourteeners.[3] Summits which qualify are those considered by mountaineers to be independent. Objective standards for independence include topographic prominence and isolation (distance from a higher summit), or a combination of the two. However, fourteener lists do not always consistently use such objective rules.
A rule commonly used by mountaineers in the contiguous United States is that a peak must have at least 300 feet (91 m) of prominence to qualify. By this rule, Colorado has fifty-three (or 54 depending on criteria) fourteeners, California has eleven (twelve using mean prominence), and Washington has two. However, the subsidiary summit of Liberty Cap in Washington (one of the summits of Mount Rainier), at 14,112 feet (4,301 m) and 492 feet (150 m) of prominence, is often not counted as a fourteener despite meeting the prominence criteria.[citation needed]
According to the Mountaineering Club of Alaska, it is standard in Alaska to use a 500-foot (150 m) prominence rule rather than a 300-foot (91 m) rule.[citation needed] By this rule, Alaska has at least 21 peaks over 14,000 feet (4,267 m) and its 12 highest peaks exceed 15,000 feet (4,572 m).
For comparison, Canada has 15 fourteeners, and Mexico has 8; however, the importance of the arbitrary 14,000-foot mark is minimal outside of the U.S. (due in large part to the otherwise universal usage of the metric system). In Europe, it is very common to attempt to climb all of the independent 4,000-metre (13,123 ft) peaks in the Alps; that pastime roughly corresponds to fourteener-bagging in the U.S., although some of the European peaks are more technical climbs in general.[clarification needed][citation needed]
[edit] Table
[edit] Topographic prominence
The table above uses a topographic prominence criterion of 300 feet. If a criterion of 100 meters of prominence is used instead, the table above shrinks to 85 summits. If a criterion of either 150 meters or 500 feet of prominence is used, the table above shrinks to 76 summits.
The following U.S. summits have 14,000 feet of elevation, but have less than 300 feet of topographic prominence:
- Mount McKinley, Browne Tower, 14,530, Alaska. Prominence = 25–125 feet (7.6–38 m). It is unclear why this became included on some fourteener lists.
- Mount Cameron, 14,238, Colorado. Prominence = 118 feet.
- El Diente Peak, 14,159, Colorado. Prominence = 239 feet. On many fourteener lists.
- Point Success, 14,158, Washington. Prominence = 118 feet.
- Polemonium Peak, 14,080+, California. Prominence = 160–240 feet.
- Starlight Peak, 14,080, California. Prominence = 80–160 feet.
- North Conundrum Peak, 14,040+, Colorado. Prominence = 200–280 feet.
- North Eolus, 14,039, Colorado. Prominence = 159–199 feet.
- North Maroon Peak, 14,014, Colorado. Prominence = 234 feet. On many fourteener lists.
- Thunderbolt Peak, 14,003, California. Prominence = 223 feet.

- ^ The summit of Mount Muir is unlikely to have 300 feet of prominence, though the mean prominence (using interpolation between contours) of Mount Muir is indeed 101 m (331 ft). The level 2 Digital Elevation Model for the Mount Whitney region suggests that Mount Muir's prominence is only 90 m (295 ft). A field measurement conducted on 22 July 2000 in clear, stable weather using several independent barometric altimeters yielded a prominence of only 276(+/-20) feet. See What happened to Mt. Muir?.
