I have continued to enjoy your Marilyns list, both in the sanctum of my map room and in the field. In fact, I managed to climb 17 this year, bringing my lifetime total to 18. Not a lot by the standards of people like you and the Bowkers, but busy enough, under the circumstances. Perhaps you could have a category for 'Most Marilyns by someone who lives permanently on another continent, and only gets out in spare moments around business trips'. I was worried about what I'd do after this year, since I've wiped out most of the stuff within easy reach of London, but now that I've discovered South Wales is only two hours on the M4 from Slough, I'm smiling again.
There are currently 2902 summits in my Washington state master list, including 2199 with 400ft or more of prominence. Estimated final numbers are c4000 total and 3000 with 400ft prominence. Among these are at least 140 with 2000ft or more of prominence! Washington is clearly a world leader in topokurtosis. But I have to say I was impressed by the density in some parts of Scotland when I started looking over that part of my altas recently. P.S. One of my lists, the 100 highest peaks in Oregon, has been put online at www.mazamas.org/text/OR-100.htm by the Mazamas (the largest climbing club in Oregon).
