Can Elbrus represent Europe?
Beyond the two approaches to choosing a peak in southeastern Asia, an argument has been made against Elbrus serving as Europe’s highest peak. Home-atlas topographic maps make it obvious that the Caucasus range has a closer geophysical affinity with Asian mountains than with other European ones. While no list without Elbrus has gained the traction or popularity with climbing enthusiasts than the conventional Seven Summits, any weakness of the case for Mont Blanc (at 4,807 meters) in place of Elbus lies in its technical nature, not in an idiosyncratic view of European boundaries.
