The 9 summits of the Hijaz Mountains
The Hijaz Mountains runs through Saudi Arabia, and this is all of it: 9 catalogued summits, from Jabal Idqis at 2 160 m down to Jabal al Ash‘ab at 1 296 m — 864 m between the first and the last, spread over roughly 205 km around 24.1° N, 39.1° 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.
