In topography, "prominence" characterizes the height of a mountain or hill's summit by the vertical distance between it and the lowest contour line encircling with no higher summit. It is a measure of the independence of a summit. A peak's "key col" is a unique point on this contour line and the "parent peak" is some higher mountain, selected according to various objective criteria.
By convention, the prominence of Mount Everest, the Earth's highest mountain, is taken to equal the elevation of its summit above sea level. Apart from this special case, there are several equivalent definitions:
Prominence is interesting to some mountaineers because it is an objective measurement that is strongly correlated with the subjective significance of a summit. Peaks with low prominences are either subsidiary tops of some higher summit or relatively insignificant independent summits. Peaks with high prominences tend to be the highest points around and are likely to have extraordinary views.
Only summits with a sufficient degree of prominence are regarded as independent mountains. For example, the world's second highest mountain is K2 . While Mount Everest's South Summit is taller, it is not considered an independent mountain because it is a subsummit of the main summit .
Many lists of mountains take topographic prominence as a criterion for inclusion, or "cutoff". John and Anne Nuttall's "The Mountains of England and Wales" uses a cutoff of 15 m , and Alan Dawson's list of Marilyns uses 150 m . In the contiguous United States, the famous list of "fourteeners" uses a cutoff of 300 ft / 91 m . Also in the U.S., 2000 feet of prominence has become an informal threshold that signifies that a peak has major stature.
Lists with a high topographic prominence cutoff tend to favour isolated peaks or those that are the highest point of their massif; a low value, such as the Nuttalls', results in a list with many summits that may be viewed by some as insignificant.

Mount McKinley or Denali (see Naming section below) is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,237 feet (6,168 m) above sea level. At some 18,000 feet (5,500 m), the base-to-peak rise is considered the largest of any mountain situated entirely above sea level. Measured by topographic prominence, it is the third most prominent peak after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of the U.S. state of Alaska, McKinley is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve.

Mount Rainier is the 5th highest mountain, and the single most impressive mountain in my opinion, in the contiguous United States. If you have ever seen Rainier you know how impressive it is. It can be seen from 150 miles away. Columbia Crest, the highest peak on Rainier at 14,410 feet, is the highest point in Washington State.
Its impressiveness is due primarily to its topographic prominence. Topographic prominence is measured from a mountains peak to the lowest contour line that would not encircle a higher peak. Prominence is very important in determining whether a peak is significant, otherwise every insignificant rock on a mountain could be considered a separate peak. Therefore, only summits with a significant degree of prominence are regarded as independent mountains. Rainier has a prominence of 13,210 ft. (4,026 m) and is the 21st most prominent mountain on Earth. For an idea of how impressive that is, K2 the world’s second highest mountain ranks in at 22nd on the list with a prominence of 13,189 ft. (4,020 m).
Mount Rainier is enormous. Rainier is ranked second in the contiguous United States to the northern California peak, Mount Shasta (14,162 ft./4317 m) in terms of total volume. Its bulk and its location allow it to contain the most glaciers of any mountain in the contiguous United States with 26 as well as permanent snowfields. For this reason Rainier has been used as a training ground by people preparing to attempt the worlds other great mountains.
I choose to climb with mountain guiding company since I had no experience with glacier travel, crevasse rescue, etc. I climbed with RMI, but I am sure any of the other companies that guide on the mountain would be just as good (AAI and IMG). I would suggest that if you aren’t climbing with a guide and you are inexperienced, at least someone in your party should know what in the hell they are doing.
If climbing Rainier is something that you are interested in doing, there is no time like the present, because it literally might not be there if you wait.

Denali
Denali /dᵻˈnɑːli/ (also known as Mount McKinley, its former official name) is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet (6,190 m) above sea level. At some 18,000 ft (5,500 m), the base-to-peak rise is the largest of any mountain situated entirely above sea level. With a topographic prominence of 20,156 feet (6,144 m) and a topographic isolation of 4,629 miles (7,450 km), Denali is the third most prominent and third most isolated peak after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of the U.S. state of Alaska, Denali is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve.
The Koyukon people who inhabit the area around the mountain have referred to the peak as "Denali" for centuries. In 1896, a gold prospector named it "Mount McKinley" in support of then-presidential candidate William McKinley; that name was the official name recognized by the United States government from 1917–2015. In August 2015, following the 1975 lead of the state of Alaska, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the change of the official name of the mountain to Denali. Prior to this, most Alaskans already referred to the mountain as Denali.

Denali (Mount McKinley) Mountain, Alaska - Eric Nourse & David Reinhart
Mount McKinley, or Denali (Koyukon Athabaskan for "The High One", Dghelaayce'e in Ahtna) is the highest mountain peak in the United States and in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,320 feet (6,194 m) above sea level. Measured base-to-peak, it is the tallest mountain on land. Measured by topographic prominence, it is the third most prominent peak after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the U.S. state of Alaska, it is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denali -

Mount Olympus
Mount Olympus (/əˈlɪmpəs, oʊˈlɪm-/; Greek: Όλυμπος; also transliterated as Olympos, and on Greek maps, Oros Olympos) is the highest mountain in Greece and the second highest mountain in the Balkans. It is located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, between the prefectures of Pieria and Larissa, about 80 km (50 mi) southwest from Thessaloniki. Mount Olympus has 52 peaks, deep gorges, and exceptional biodiversity. The highest peak Mytikas, meaning "nose", rises to 2,917 metres (9,570 ft). It is one of the highest peaks in Europe in terms of topographic prominence. Olympus was notable in Ancient Greek Mythology as the home of the Twelve Olympians, on the Mytikas peak. Mount Olympus is also noted for its very rich flora with several species. It has been the first... -
K2
K2 (also known as Chhogori/Qogir, Ketu/Kechu, and Mount Godwin-Austen) is the second-highest mountain on Earth, after Mount Everest. It is located on the border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit--Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China. With a peak elevation of 8,611 m (28,251 feet), K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram Range and the highest point in Pakistan. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent and the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died trying. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side; thus, it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the moun... -
Monte Rosa
Monte Rosa or Mont Rose is a huge ice-covered mountain in the Alps, located on the watershed between northern and southern Europe. Its main summit, named Dufourspitze in honor of the surveyor Guillaume-Henri Dufour, culminates at 4,634 metres above sea level and is followed by the three nearly equally high subsidiary summits of Nordend, Zumsteinspitze and Signalkuppe. Monte Rosa is the highest mountain of both Switzerland and the Pennine Alps and is also the second-highest mountain of the Alps and Europe outside the Caucasus. As a massif, Monte Rosa straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy, although its main summit, unlike the three lower ones, lies on the Swiss side, within the canton of Valais. Along with the Lyskamm to the south, the west side of Monte Rosa, with its enormous ...

Serra da Estrela (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsɛʁɐ ðɐ (ɨ)ʃˈtɾelɐ], "Star Mountain Range") is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal. Together with the Serra da Lousã it is the westernmost constituent range of the Sistema Central and also one of the highest in the system. It includes mainland Portugal's highest point at 1,993 metres (6,539 feet) above mean sea level (although the summit of Mount Pico in the Portuguese Azores islands is higher). This point is not a distinctive mountain summit, but rather the highest point in a plateau, being known as Torre ("Tower" in English). Torre is an unusual summit in that it is accessible by a paved road. The peak has a topographic prominence of 1,204 m (3,950 ft) and its parent peak is Pico Almanzor, in Spain.[1]
There is a ski resort at the summit, named Vodafone Ski Resort.
The mountain range, situated between the municipalities of Seia, Manteigas, Gouveia, Guarda and Covilhã, is about 100 kilometres (60 miles) long and is 30 km (19 mi) across at its widest point. It is formed from a huge granite ridge that once formed the southern frontier of the country. Due to its bizarrely shaped crags and gorges, mountain streams and lakes, beautiful forests and magnificent views, the area ranks among Portugal’s outstanding scenic attractions.
O Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela (PNSE) fica no centro interior de Portugal essencialmente no distrito da Guarda (85%) e também no distrito de Castelo Branco (15%). Marcado por maciços rochosos de granito, xisto e xistograuvaquicos e vestígios de antigos glaciares, a elevada altitude e localização do parque natural tornam-no um dos locais de Portugal continental com maior ocorrência de chuva, neve, granizo e orvalho.[3] [4]
A importância desta área faz com que seja Reserva Biogenética. Em 2000, foi designada uma área de 88 295 hectares como Sítio de interesse biológico e passou a integrar a Rede Natura 2000. Com valores naturais relevantes, incluindo algumas espécies de flora únicas no país, nos animais destaca-se o lobo (Canis lupus), o javali, a lontra, a raposa (Vulpes vulpes), a lagartixa-de-montanha (Lacerta monticola monticola), a geneta (Genetta genetta) e o coelho-bravo-europeu (Oryctolagus cuniculus) entre outros.[1]
Entre as diversas atividades que tem para oferecer destacam-se os percursos pedestres assinalados e um centro de interpretação. Nas atividades económicas é relevante a importância do queijo Serra da Estrela e da única estância de ski no país.

K2 (also known as Chhogori/Qogir, Ketu/Kechu, and Mount Godwin-Austen) is the second-highest mountain on Earth, after Mount Everest. It is located on the border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit--Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China. With a peak elevation of 8,611 m (28,251 feet), K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram Range and the highest point in Pakistan.
K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent and the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died trying. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side; thus, it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate (246 summits, 55 deaths) , K2 has never been climbed in winter.

Monte Rosa or Mont Rose is a huge ice-covered mountain in the Alps, located on the watershed between northern and southern Europe. Its main summit, named Dufourspitze in honor of the surveyor Guillaume-Henri Dufour, culminates at 4,634 metres above sea level and is followed by the three nearly equally high subsidiary summits of Nordend, Zumsteinspitze and Signalkuppe. Monte Rosa is the highest mountain of both Switzerland and the Pennine Alps and is also the second-highest mountain of the Alps and Europe outside the Caucasus. As a massif, Monte Rosa straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy, although its main summit, unlike the three lower ones, lies on the Swiss side, within the canton of Valais.
Along with the Lyskamm to the south, the west side of Monte Rosa, with its enormous ice slopes and seracs, forms the boundary and upper basin of the large Gorner Glacier, which descends towards Zermatt. On the east side, the mountain forms an almost vertical 2,400 metre-high wall of granite and ice, the biggest in Europe, overlooking Macugnaga.
