Re The '100 highest' in the personal log
Context of comment:Issue of order and summits apparently missing.Message:Conor74. orderUsually when you look at the 100 Highest they are sorted in descending order of height initially. You can change the sort order by clicking on the heading. For example if you click on "Summit" they will appear in alphabetical order. If there's some error in this, let me know since I was making some changes in this area over the weekend. Summits apparently missing Yes, this is a bit of a perennial. It all depends on what criterion you choose for deciding something is an independent summit and what MV uses is prominence or the drop from the summit to a col leading to higher ground. MountainViews has 100 Highest with 100m prominence. Using this prominence means that important areas such as the Bluestack and Cuilcagh are included. If you use a list with say a 50m prominence then some high summits will appear such as Caher but so will relatively smaller bumps like Greenane, Knocknapeasta or Slieve Binnian North Top. Cuilcagh and the Bluestacks will vanish. Additional points:There is no absolute or right method of inclusion, but we think that 100 Highest with 100m prominence is simple and only includes very definite summits. You can experiment with lists at Lists & Logs | Listing Programs | Simple Irish Listings which allows you to try various possibilities. |

The '100 highest' in the personal log...
Context of comment:...doesn't seem to list the 100 highest...Message:I'm sure this has been said before, and I seem to remember seeing it here somewhere, but when you click on this link it doesn't show the highest in the usual order but seems to omit many peaks. I thought initially that it was the highest in each range, but the top 2 are both in the Reeks, and Brandon and Brandon Peak are both in the top 10. I suspect this has been explained before, so sorry to bring it up again. If one wanted to see how many of the actual top 100 they had done, how would they go about this? |

After Knockeirky, 2 more in the Cahas?
Context of comment:Sorry to sound like a pain and I'm not looking for errors or omissions, but did the Cumeengeera Circuity today. North of Tooth Mountain there are 2 peaks marked as being 513m, they seem to share a common contour line with Tooth Mountain itself that seems to be the 480m line. The name 'Knocknaveacal' appears above them on the online OSI viewer map (the wind report one which shows contour lines) - but given that this is presumably the Irish for Tooth Mountain it may not denote a distinct peak, or 2. Given the popularity of the route I presume these were checked and discounted, and may have been even raised by other mv members. On the ground, they both actually look far more prominent than Knockeirky, which incidentally it is included must surely get an award as one of the least prominent 'looking' peaks anywhere! Was on it last Saturday and it's very hard to perceive, though for some strange reason it has a cairn that dwarfs those on its much more distinctive neighbours Knockowen and Cusnaficulla. |

Re: Knockeirky: It's a small world
Context of comment:Conor 74, I checked the flickr site you gave the link for and guess what? I recognised the flickr member who discussed Knockeirky as a long standing Mountainviews member! I will message him post-haste to give us his valuable col height and prominence data!We may have Knockeirky listed before you get there! |

Hill Of Allen
Context of comment:Should this hill be classified on MV? Elevation 206 m (676 ft) ???It would be a handy conquest to add to my list as it only has half a face due to the quarry on one side!! |

re Knockeirky
Context of comment:Sponsorship huh? The only way I was thinking about sponsorship was for the site not from it. Nice try though. As regards Knockeirky or anywhere else, if the consensus it should be listed, it will be. |

Knockeirky
Context of comment:ProminenceMessage:Thank for that Wicklore. This is the link to the flickr pic which mentions 40m prominence, but sadly they don't give the height of the col http://www.flickr.com/photos/31021365@N05/3852162516/ I intend to climb it this weekend, but just relying on maps and compass so won't be able to record height. Of course if the site were to sponsor me some nice expensive gadget...in the interests of research of course etc. etc. |
