Abstract: A virtual peak register system is provided that allows individuals who have climbed various mountains to record and display information concerning their ascents over the Internet. The information recorded can be displayed in the form of a general peak register or a personal peak register. The general peak register can display information that includes the names of the individuals who have climbed a particular mountain and the dates of their respective climbs, the information being displayed in reverse chronological order. The personal peak register can display information that includes the names and dates of mountains personally climbed by an individual. The personal peak register can display the information concerning the individual's ascents according to any number of criteria, such as the elevations of the mountains climbed or the dates of the climbs.
