The Eight Summits[1] are the collective name for eight highest mountains in the seven continents. It is a combined name for several versions of "Seven Summits", due to different ways in naming the highest mountains. Mountaineers can all agree that climbing all the summits is among the supreme accomplishments of their sport. The list of successful climbers is listed on internet as a life pride.[2] The eight summits consists of:
ControversyDue to the difference in definition and the controversy on the boundaries of continents. There were several version of "Seven Summits" and "Eight Summits"[3]. The most prominent one includes "The Messner List" which omitted the Mount Kosciuszko in Australia, supporter of this list argues that the Puncak Jaya in Indonesia should be regarded as the Peak for the Australisia or Oceania continent. It is also due to the fact that the summiting the Mount Kosciuszko is relatively an easier task, as the mountain is significantly lower than other summits (only 2,228m above sea level). Another list is called "The Bass List", named after Richard Bass, the first mountaineer completed his list of "seven summits" which omitted the Puncak Jaya in Indonesia from the Eight Summits. This results in the list for "Eight Summits", including both Puncak Jaya (also named as Mount Carstensz or abbreviated as CP) and Mount Kosciuszko (abbreviated as K). This list is also called "the Bass and Messner Lists". See Also
