P100m

P100-metre Peaks

This lower prominence P-category is likely to be of interest to a different type of peak-bagger than the other categories.  It may appeal to the young, less experienced, the elderly, and people living in areas of lower uplands.  It may also appeal to those who enjoy exploring the higher mountain ranges in greater detail, by scaling the subsidiary peaks in a massif while staying longer in a local area.  It also presents a ‘greener’ low carbon option by bringing in more localised possibilities at home and abroad.  It is the metric equivalent of the American P300ft prominences, and popular not just in the USA but also Britain (where it goes under the acronym of Humps - Hundred-Metre-Prominences).   In the Western United States P300ft is generally accepted as the definition of a separate summit.

There are estimated to be over 1.4 million P100m peaks across the world - so plenty to choose from!

This Table has a Hall of Fame and Progress Register, and also a Roll of Honour. 

To enter the P100m BwB Hall of Fame, you need to have reached the summits of at least 1,200 peaks worldwide.

Bronze Awards are given at 2,000 peaks, Silver at 3,500 peaks and Gold at 6,000 peaks worldwide.

The current HoFMeister for the P100m Table is Mark Trengove.

Mark is a keen, but decelerating, peak-bagger, most active in Britain, with forays to Ireland and mainland Europe, and very occasionally, beyond.  His greatest love is for the uplands of his home nation of Wales, but also Scotland and Greece.  He also publishes hill and mountain lists for the countries of Europe, and beyond. These can be found on the Europeaklist website - see at https://sites.google.com/site/europeaklist/..

Mark also acts as moderator for the BwB Forum (see at https://groups.google.com/g/baggingwithoutborders), webmaster for the website, Journal editor and BwB HoFClerk.  This keeps him busy when not out peak-bagging.
