MountainFYI is the world's most comprehensive mountain reference. It covers 2,000 mountains, 5,000+ climbing routes, month-by-month seasonal conditions, 155 mountaineering terms, 102 guides, and 52 peak-bagging challenges -- all available in 15 languages.
Mountains are listed by summit elevation in meters. You can filter by continent, country, mountain range, or difficulty grade. The MountainFYI Grade system rates peaks from Grade 1 (easy hike, e.g. Mount Fuji) to Grade 5 (extreme expedition, e.g. K2).
The MountainFYI Grade system classifies mountains into five difficulty levels: Grade 1 (Easy Hike -- well-marked trails, no technical skills), Grade 2 (Moderate Trek -- longer days, some scrambling), Grade 3 (Strenuous Trek -- high altitude, glacier travel), Grade 4 (Technical Climb -- ropes, crampons, route-finding), and Grade 5 (Extreme Expedition -- Himalayan 8,000ers, sustained technical climbing).
Yes. MountainFYI offers side-by-side comparisons for any two mountains. Each comparison page shows elevation difference, difficulty grades, seasonal windows, geographic location, and route options. Use the Compare tool or visit /compare/{mountain-a}-vs-{mountain-b}/.
The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents: Everest (Asia, 8,849m), Aconcagua (South America, 6,961m), Denali (North America, 6,190m), Kilimanjaro (Africa, 5,895m), Elbrus (Europe, 5,642m), Vinson (Antarctica, 4,892m), and either Puncak Jaya (Oceania, 4,884m) or Mount Kosciuszko (Australia, 2,228m) depending on the list definition.
Every mountain page includes a month-by-month conditions breakdown covering temperature ranges, precipitation, snow likelihood, weather quality rating, and a written summary. This helps you choose the best time of year to attempt a climb or hike.
