unclimbed
Peak awaiting first
Unclimbed describes a mountain, peak, or route that no one has yet ascended.
The term carries weight in mountaineering, where first ascents represent significant achievements: Several unclimbed peaks remain in the Himalayas.
An unclimbed route on a known mountain offers similar challenge—a new path up familiar terrain.
