The 37 summits of the Gurghiu Mountains
The Gurghiu Mountains runs through Romania, and this is all of it: 37 catalogued summits, from Saca Mare at 1 776 m down to Plaiul Borții at 1 082 m — 694 m between the first and the last, spread over roughly 56 km around 46.8° N, 25.2° E.
A range this size is climbed in two tiers. The main ridge is the first 14 — 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 37 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.
