The challenge that started it all in 1891! Includes mountains in Scotland at least 3,000 ft / 914.4 m high that satisfy the subjective measure of being "separate" mountains. Possibly the oldest peak challenge in existence, it was originally compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891 and since then has occasionally been modified by the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC). Special thanks to peakery member Mark Trengove for help with this challenge.

"Chunk of the Mamores trail. Pretty simple and fast. Took a shower in the Steall Falls right after😹. Went with Oliver, Ondra and Jáchym. Did 30km of the West Highland Way the next day." — OndrasC • Jul 31, 2025
"Tried a much more difficult route with 20+kg backpacks and spent the night freezing at the top. Add horrible weather and it’s safe to say we made this easy peak one of the hardest summits ever. Went with Oliver, Ondra and Jáchym." — OndrasC • Jul 27, 2025
"Fun w An n Er
No view through the mist, but an enjoyable stroll through nowhere-land to the tune of some Pippits and wind.
Met a friendly runner, bagging munros with maximal efficiency.
A worker in co-op remarked that my hair was wet, and hers was not. This was true.
No bees. " — Fun • Jun 30, 2025
