The Carolina Mountain Club and the Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club have run this challenge since 1968. More than sixty Southern Appalachian summits pass 6,000 feet; forty qualify, each dropping 200 feet to the saddle joining it to another qualifier or standing three quarters of a mile from one. They fall in six ranges: the Smokies, Plotts, Balsams, Craggies, Blacks and Roans. All but Mount Le Conte lie in North Carolina or on its line with Tennessee.
