These are some of the “high points” in my life. It’s a work in progress. I have separated out the list of Southern 6ers from other peaks I’ve bagged for no real reason other than they may not be peaks local to my area. Updated: 7/2/2024
Other Hills, Mountains, and Peaks

The Southern Sixers
There are 54 US eastern peaks over 6000 feet with 53 of these peaks in the Southeastern states (the odd one out is New Hampshire’s Mount Washington). These are the “Southern 6ers.” I’m working on the “South Beyond 6000 Challenge”, sponsored by the Carolina Mountain Club, where you basically climb their 40 selected (noted below with SB6C) peaks, (the bold names are ones I’ve peaked).
