Andes 6000-meter PeaksRanked Peaks have 400 meters of Clean ProminenceFront Runners List: Click here to see list completion progress by climbers that log their climbs using Peakbagger.com. Compare Climbers: Click here to compare ascents of up to 5 climbers working on this list. List DescriptionThis list is largely based on the work of John Biggar (http://www.andes.org.uk), who is the world's leading authority on the true elevations of the peaks of the Andes. Given the lack of good large-scale maps in much of South America, he has done an excellent job of compiling information from diverse sources. The cut-off prominence of 400m for this list is the same he uses. This table here is based on his work, with the addition of independent research on peak latitude-longitudes, range classifications, prominences, and some elevations.
