mountain tops
Where climbers finish
Mountain tops are the highest points or summits of mountains.
The term appears both as two words and as the single word *mountaintop*.
A mountain top is where climbers aim to reach, where snow persists longest, and where views extend farthest: We could see three states from the mountain top.
Figuratively, reaching a mountain top suggests achieving a peak or pinnacle: She's at the mountain top of her career.
