Highpointing is the activity of ascending to the point with the highest natural elevation within a given area, known as the highpoint. Those who pursue the activity are known as highpointers.
Highpointing has been considered a subset of peak bagging, the goal of which is to reach the summit of every mountain on a certain list.[1]
