I think they're probably doing something more akin to what I do here. The mountains they're climbing are taller than what we have here, but I suspect they're not much more of a climb from the base.

For example, I think it's only a 1200ft climb from the Buffalo River to the Compton trailhead and I doubt most of their climbs would be much more than that, or that they would require climbing gear. But that's about a tall of a climb you'll find here.

Of course, that 1200ft climb I speak of is pretty darn steep, and it's a hike that certainly humbles me, but it's not what you'd call mountaineering.

I don't think we have any equivalent to the "46 4000 footers" here. We might have 20 2000 footers

It would still be fun to make to a list of our highest "knobs" within the Ozarks on public property and climb them though. Maybe I'll work on that. I've got a few I could check off already.
