Facts & figures of all 7summiteers!

Links to the the 7 summits lists and the most popular queries/filters

Combined lists:

--> The main combined 7 summits list <--

(all people, either CP, K or both, sorted by the first finish date, either CP or K)

--> The full 8 summits list: both CP & K <-- 

(Only people with BOTH CP as well as K. Sorted by the first finish date, either CP or K)

 

The per mountain lists, where at least the following mountain is climbed:

--> The 7summits Carstensz Pyramid List <--

--> The 7summits Kosciuszko List <--

  • Any other sorting/filtering/querying on age, nationality, gender etc. can be done on all these lists by pressing the 'V' button on their left top and the headers of the tables. In this way you can for example determine the number of females from the UK that finished with Vinson.
  • Every familyname in the tables climbers link to a detailed personal page with all dates, biography, photo and much more.
  • Click here for an explanation of the headers and instructions for the filtering possibilities.
  • Click here if you have climbed the 7 summits yourself and want to apply for a place on the lists

 
 

Why are there different lists here?

As you might know due to the discussion of either Carstensz Pyramid or Kosciuszko being the 7th summit (of Australia/ Oceania) there are different lists of the 7 summiteers, so we just list them all.

  • We have first listed the combined lists with people climbing at least one of them (the main 7 summits list) and one for people climbing both of them (8 summits list).

  • We have also divided the official seven summit statistics into the Carstensz  Pyramid list (CP) and the Kosciuszko list (K). (In both cases climber can have climbed the other as well, but this is not mandatory.)

  • The links above take you to the full lists; for your convenience we have made some pre selections that are requested most often, see the bulleted lists above. Have fun and be inspired

  • In all lists you can click on the last name of each summiteer which links to a full biography with an image and more.

Notes:

  • Due to many climbers climbing both just to be sure, the totals of the CP & K lists are more than the total of the the main 7 summits list.

  • We have no statistics available of the 7/8 mountains themselves. Most parks services either do not record this info in a structured and statistically trustful way or do not publish it. So please do not send questions like: how many Americans have climbed Elbrus. We do not know.
  • Please also do not request information about the 'youngest British left-handed who climbed the 7summits walking backwards' and similar queries. We do not know and frankly do not care, climbing should be a personal choice and not dictated by funny angles to attract sponsors. Also no speed-records per mountain requests please. We don't know or care and are not promoting it: speed-climbing is potentially very dangerous, hard to check and has proven to be a major source of controversy.
  • Use all of this info wisely, 7summits.com cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or resulting problems.
  • As facts have to be checked and completed, the lists will only get updated once every few weeks - months, depending on the number of new summiteers and the completeness of their submissions.
