The 11 summits of the Greater Caucasus
The Greater Caucasus runs through Georgia, and this is all of it: 11 catalogued summits, from Gora Shkhara at 5 201 m down to Gora Ëzen’gi-Chatbashi at 4 400 m — 801 m between the first and the last, spread over roughly 239 km around 43.0° N, 43.1° E.
The list is not hand-typed. wayly resolves it from the range itself against its summit catalogue — foothills under 60% of the highest left out, one summit mapped twice kept once — so it follows the mountains rather than someone's memory. And it fills itself in: a summit counts when a walk you recorded takes you over the top of it, not when you remember to tick a box.
