The current speed record for the Hyaku-Meizan is 66 days by Kazufumi Hirata. We can guesstimate that the Japanese top 50 prominence list is completed, and considerable progress (accidental or on purpose) has been made on the 100, 200, and 400 lists 12) Mexico Mexico 50 finest by prominence, minimum 10, may rise. http://oldadit.googlepages.com/mexico.finest.pdf 16 Bob Packard 11 Adam Helman 9 Gordon MacLeod 9 Rodulfo Araujo http://www.xpmexico.com/ Mexico summits (per Otis McAllister listing.
