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.
