These ratings are totally subjective, based on what I think. I am a strong hiker, so some of the peaks I consider medium might be more difficult than I make it sound.
Some peaks are in multiple categories, usually because you could drive up or hike up.
Use ctrl-f to find the peak you're looking for.
