list of mountain lists not used in peak bagging
Perhaps the first of what would become many notable mountain lists around the world was Sir Hugh Munro’s catalogue of the Munros, the peaks above 3,000’ elevation in Scotland. Once defined the list became a popular target for what became known as peak bagging, where the adventurous attempted to summit all of the peaks on the list. Over time the peaks on such lists grew more challenging, with perhaps the eight thousanders as the most notable (the mentioned list being first fully completed by Reinhold Messner in 1986). Other extreme examples are the Seven Summits, defined as the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. An ever growing collection of peak lists is maintained and published on mountaineering related websites.

The Eight thousanders are the fourteen mountains over in height, all in the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges in Asia. The Seven Summits are the highest peaks on each continent, from the Vinson Massif in Antarctica to Everest in Asia. The Seven Second Summits are the second highest peaks on each continent. The Volcanic Seven Summits are the highest volcanoes on each of the continents. The Ultras are mountains worldwide that have a topographic prominence of at least , regardless of location, absolute height or other merit. The Snow Leopards are the five peaks of the former Soviet Union over in height.

The Alpine four thousanders are the 128 summits (82 'official summits' and 46 'lesser summits') of or more in the Alps in France, Italy and Switzerland as defined by the UIAA. The Six mountains of the Alps with the most difficult north faces. The Pyrenean three thousanders are the 129 summits of or more in the Pyrenees in France and Spain as defined by a UIAA sponsored joint Franco Spanish team.

The standard list for the major peaks of the Andes is the list of 6000 m peaks as first compiled by John Biggar in 1996 and listed in his Andes guidebook. This list currently stands at 102 peaks, with no known completers.

List of ribus, peaks Indonesia with at least of topographic prominence, known as the Ribus.

Popular peak bagging challenges in Australia include the State 8: the highest peak in each of the six states and two territories (excluding Australia's external territories). The Abels are a group of peaks in Tasmania over 1100 metres above sea level and separated from other mountains by a drop of at least 150 metres on all sides. Named after Abel Tasman, the first European to sight Tasmania.
