peak-bagging
Conquering mountain lists
Peak-bagging is the practice of systematically climbing mountains from a defined list—often all peaks above a certain elevation or within a specific range.
The term captures both the collecting impulse and the physical achievement: She's been peak-bagging in the Adirondacks all summer.
Also called peak collecting or summit bagging.
