context_page_description: The mountains and hills of the British Isles are categorised into various lists based on different combinations of elevation, prominence, and other criteria such as isolation. These lists are used for peak bagging, whereby hillwalkers attempt to reach all the summits on a given list, the oldest being the 282 Munros in Scotland, created in 1891.
  A height above 2,000 ft, or more latterly 600 m, is considered necessary to be classified as a mountain – as opposed to a hill – in the British Isles. With the exception of Munros, all the lists require a prominence above 15 metres. A prominence of between 15 and 30 metres, does not meet the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation definition of an "independent peak", which is a threshold over 30 metres. Most lists consider a prominence between 30 and 150 metres as a "top". Marilyns, meanwhile, have a prominence above 150 metres, with no additional height threshold. They range from small 150-metre hills to the largest mountains. Prominences above 600 metres, meet the P600 classification, which is the UIAA international classification of a "major" mountain.
context_section_description: Furths are mountains in Great Britain and Ireland that are furth of (i.e. "outside") Scotland, and which would otherwise qualify as Scottish Munros or Munro Tops.  They are sometimes referred to as the Irish, the English or the Welsh Munros. There are 34 furths; 15 in Wales, 13 in Ireland and six in England. The highest is Snowdon. Of these 34 SMC identified Furths, 33 have a prominence above 30 m (98 ft) (e.g. the Murdo Furths), 14 have a prominence above 150 m (490 ft) (e.g. the Real Munro Furths), and 10 have a prominence above 600 m (2,000 ft) (e.g. the P600 Furths).
  The Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) maintains the list of Furths and records claims of Munroists who go on to complete the Furths (called "Furthists").
