An unclimbed mountain is a mountain peak that has yet to be climbed to the top. Determining which unclimbed peak is highest is often a matter of controversy. In some parts of the world, surveying and mapping are still unreliable. There are no comprehensive records of the routes of explorers, mountaineers, and local inhabitants. In some cases, even modern ascents by larger parties have been poorly documented and, with no universally recognized listing, the best that can be achieved in determining the world's highest unclimbed peaks is somewhat speculative. Most sources indicate that Gangkhar Puensum on the Bhutan–China border is the tallest mountain in the world that has yet to be fully summited. Gangkhar Puensum has been off limits to climbers since 1994 when Bhutan prohibited all mountaineering above 6,000 m (20,000 ft) due to spiritual/religious beliefs.

An ultra-prominent peak, or ultra for short, is a mountain summit with a topographic prominence of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) or more; it is also called a P1500. The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak. There are approximately 1,524 such peaks on Earth. Some well-known peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Eiger, are not ultras because they are connected to higher mountains by high cols and thus do not achieve enough topographic prominence.
Çikë, at 2,044 metres (6,706 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak of the Ceraunian Mountains range in Albania which extends approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) along the Albanian Riviera in a northwesterly direction from Sarandë to the Karaburun Peninsula.

John Biggar is a Scottish mountaineer, high altitude mountain guide and explorer, mainly active in the Andes. From 1995 to the present day he has made a number of first ascents in the Andes. He discovered the Inca ruins on the summit of Alto Toroni, a 5995m high peak on the frontier between Chile and Bolivia and was first to realise that a small lake on Ojos del Salado was the world's highest lake. As of 2020, Biggar has climbed 54 major and 17 less prominent peaks of over 6000 m in the Andes, the second highest total of anyone, after Maximo Kausch.
