Summit

A pyramidal peak is an exaggerated form produced by ice erosion of a mountain top.

The highest summit in the world is Mount Everest with a height of 8,848.86 m (29,031.7 ft) above sea level.

The first official ascent was made by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary.

[2][3] Whether a highest point is classified as a summit, a sub peak or a separate mountain is subjective.

In many parts of the Western United States, the term summit is used for the highest point along a road, highway, or railroad, more commonly referred to as a pass.
