County highest prominence list

[PaulStratmoen]

Is there a way on the site to get a list showing the most prominent summit in each county and to track members’ progress against such a list? I thought of this after realizing that we had climbed Custer County’s most prominent summit yesterday (Hardscrabble Mountain). A list of the prominent summit in each county could make for an interesting journey and a reason to visit some seldom-visited summits. On Hardscrabble, we found a summit register left in 2001 by Mike Garratt, and it contained only two entries since (three counting ours).

There are some issues with plains counties in terms of # of areas (and whether the data is even valid when going down so low in prominence), and there are also multiple high-prominence peaks in single non-plains counties that need to be completed to be sure that all possibilities in a county are completed. The problems get a lot worse in other states. In short, this doesn't conveniently work as a list because the "most prominent summit" is often among many candidates.
