The 28 summits of the Nilgiri Mountains
The Nilgiri Mountains runs through India, and this is all of it: 28 catalogued summits, from Doda Betta at 2 636 m down to Cairn Hill at 2 308 m — 328 m between the first and the last, spread over roughly 79 km around 11.3° N, 76.6° E.
A range this size is climbed in two tiers. The main ridge is the first 20 — the summits within a sixth of the highest, and the goal wayly puts in front of you first. The whole range counts only once every one of the 28 is walked over.
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.
