Where our information comes from
Our mountain identification, peak identification, hiking, mountains guides are built from documented references: recognised reference works, primary records, and, where available, Mountain Identifier: Peak's own aggregated, de-identified usage data. Every specific claim is grounded in a real source; we cite it on the page rather than asking you to take our word for it.
How we use AI
We use AI to help draft and organise content, but it never originates facts. Figures, dates, names and identifying details come from the sources above. AI only helps summarise and explain them, and a person checks the result before it is published.
About the figures we publish
Any figure we show carries its source and date and is a starting point, not a guarantee. Where a figure depends on condition, context or a changing market, the page says so, and we would rather state a range honestly than a single number confidently.
Corrections
We want to get this right. If you spot an error, tell us and we'll review it against the sources and update the guide.
