^ For Nepal, the heights indicated on the Nepal Topographic Maps are followed. For China and the Baltoro Karakoram, the heights are those of "The Maps of Snow Mountains in China". For the Hispar Karakoram the heights on a Russian 1:100,000 topo map [18] seem to be more accurate than the customarily quoted heights probably based on US army maps from the 50s [19]. Elsewhere, unless otherwise indicated, heights are those in Jill Neate's "High Asia".
^ This field is complicated by border line disputes. Mountains indicated to be on the Pakistan-Sinkiang border are all in the Kashmir region. Those indicated by "Kashmir" only are in the Siachen glacier area claimed by both Pakistan and India. The Bhutan / Tibet border is also disputed.
^ The region is beautifully covered by Terraserver.com and Google Maps Satellite imagery. Coordinates were established by comparing topographical maps with these satellite images.
^ The prominence data were extracted from a combination of maps and computer aided analysis of NASA's 3" SRTM data. Prominences over 1,450 m were copied from this website (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)。
^ Here defined as the first higher mountain beyond the key saddle with 500 m prominence itself.
^ The number of ascents and failed attempts up to 2004 is extracted from the Alpine Club Himalayan index (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆). These are the number of expeditions(not individuals)that announced their ascent or attempt in a journal. They are probably quite accurate for the rarely climbed peaks(though omissions were noted),but greatly underestimate the number of ascending parties on the easier and/or more popular mountains, like most eight-thousanders. For instance, Mt Everest has been scaled 2,251 times by individuals up to 2004 [20] (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
^ Given the large differences between multiple "final" measurements of Mt Everest,the traditional 8,848 m is listed.
^ The highest(Eastern)summit of Saser Kangri II has not yet been climbed or attempted. The lower West peak, 2.5 km away, has been climbed in 1984 and twice since.
^ The highest point of the Kabru massif(the North summit)has not been reached. Lower summits, 2-3 km to the South, have been climbed, the first time already in 1935.
^ Chomolhari may be considerably lower than the official 7,315 m, which corresponds to exactly 24,000 ft [21]
^ "Discovered" by Jonathan de Ferranti. The height is unknown, but over 7,200 meters on both Chinese and Russian maps of the area.
^ The name and information about this summit was extracted from the May 2003 edition of Japanese Alpine News.
