Fourteener

This article is about high mountain peaks. For the concept in poetry, see Fourteener (poetry). For the NBA Development League team, see Colorado 14ers.

Denali, at 20,310 ft, is the tallest mountain in the United States

In the mountaineering parlance of the Western United States, a fourteener is a mountain peak with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet (4267 meters). There are 96 fourteeners in the United States, all west of the Mississippi River. Colorado has the most (53) of any single state; Alaska is in second place with 29. Many peak baggers try to climb all fourteeners in the contiguous United States, one particular state, or another region.

Qualification criteria

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

1. topographic elevation: the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
2. topographic prominence: how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
3. topographic isolation (or radius of dominance): how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.

Not all summits over 14,000 feet qualify as fourteeners. 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 53 fourteeners, California has 12, and Washington has two.

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. 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).

The following table lists the 96 mountain peaks of the United States with at least 14,000 feet (4267 meters) of topographic elevation and at least 300 feet (91.44 meters) of topographic prominence. Of these 96 fourteeners, 53 rise in Colorado, 29 in Alaska, 12 in California, and two in Washington. The 22 highest fourteeners all rise in Alaska.

Topographic prominence

The table above uses a minimum topographic prominence criterion of 300 feet (91.44 meters) and includes 97 peaks. The number of peaks included depends upon the minimum topographic prominence criterion. A criterion of 100 meters (328.1 feet) includes 90 peaks, 500 feet (152.4 meters) includes 77 peaks, 1000 feet (304.8 meters) includes 63 peaks, and 500 meters (1640 feet) includes 46 peaks.

The following U.S. summits have 14,000 feet of elevation, but have less than 300 feet of topographic prominence:

• Denali, Browne Tower, 14,530, Alaska. Prominence = 25–125 feet (7.6–38.1 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.
• Sunlight Spire, 14,001, Colorado. Prominence = 195–235 feet.
