Was bedeuten die Zahlen?
- Prominence
- How far a summit rises above its surroundings: the height difference between the summit and its key col.
- Key col
- The lowest point on the way to the next higher summit, usually a saddle. Summit height minus col height is the prominence.
- Isolation
- The straight-line distance to the nearest point that is higher than the summit.
- Orometric dominance
- Prominence divided by height, in per cent. The higher the value, the more independent the summit.
- Climbing grade (normal route)
- The hardest climbing on the normal route, in Roman numerals. I is the easiest.
