peak bagging
Climbing listed mountains
Peak bagging is the pursuit of climbing mountains from a defined list—often the highest peaks in a region or those above a certain elevation.
The term suggests collecting summits like trophies: She's peak bagging the Colorado fourteeners.
Also called peak collecting or summit bagging.
The practice emphasizes quantity and completion over mountaineering difficulty.
