Peaks over 7000 m are located on the asian continent only. Most of them are placed in the Himalaya and Karakoum moutain ranges with its highest 7000 m peaks Manaslu East (7992 m) and Gasherbrum IV (7980 m). Other mountain ranges with peaks over 7000 m are Pamir with its highest peak Kongur (7719 m), Hindu Kush with its highest peak Tirich Mir (7708 m), Daxue Shan with its highest peak Minya Konka (7590 m), Tien Shan with its highest peak Tomur Feng (7439 m) and Kunlun Shan with its highest peak Aksai Chin (7167 m).

Jill Neate's great book "High Asia: An Illustrated History of the 7,000 Metre Peaks" provides a lot of information on each of the over 400 known peaks between 7000 and 8000 metres. It contains detailed summaries of their location, access and routes, together with descriptions of their individual histories of exploration and ascents.

The book was very helpful and one of the best available sources to create the 7000 m peak list. However, the list - influenced by subjective aspects - may contain inaccuracies and errors and remains a continuous revision.
