The Alps
Mountaineering has always been a great passion of mine. For various reasons, climbing solo has carried my preference as I found it to be more intense, and even safer under certain conditions.
I will try to complete a list of iconic summits in the French, Swiss and Italian alps that have peaks higher than 4,000 meter. There are 82 in total, recognised by the UIAA.
You can find the list here:
