About this dataset
How to use the dataset
In order to use this dataset, you will need to understand what each column represents. The columns are as follows:
- The mountain's rank. This is determined by the mountain's height above the highest saddle connecting it to a higher summit.
- The mountain's range. This is the range of mountains that the mountain is in.
- The number of ascents before 2004. This is the number of times that the mountain was climbed before 2004.
- The number of ascents before 2004.1. This is the number of times that the mountain was climbed before 2004, corrected for climbs that may have been made since then.
- The number of ascents before 2004.2. This is the number of times that the mountain was climbed before 2004, correcting for any changes in elevation since then
