What are the Munros?
A Munro is a Scottish mountain with a summit above 3,000 ft (914.4 m). The list was first compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891, and today there are 282 of them — from Ben Nevis (1,345 m), the highest peak in the British Isles, down to the modest hills of the Southern Highlands.
"Munro bagging" — the tradition of climbing them all — is one of the great British mountaineering challenges. Cims, sempre amunt makes it easy to keep score: mark each summit as done, add a photo and date, and watch your round grow. Most baggers take a lifetime; some do it in a year. Either way, we're with you.

Frequently asked questions
How many Munros are there exactly?
282 as of the current SMC list. Occasional re-surveys add or remove a peak when a summit is reclassified — we keep the list in sync when the SMC updates theirs.
Is this app officially endorsed by the SMC?
No. Cims, sempre amunt is an independent project with no affiliation to the Scottish Mountaineering Club, the National Trust for Scotland, Mountaineering Scotland or any federation. If you want your round officially registered with the SMC, arrange that with them directly.
How much does the app cost?
The app is completely free. No subscriptions, no ads, no paywalls. The project is supported by voluntary donations from users who want to help.
Which platforms is it available on?
iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Can I log Munros I did years ago?
Yes. In each summit form you can set the real date you climbed it and add a photo if you have one. Your round recalculates automatically, no matter how far back the ascent was.
What about Corbetts, Grahams, and the other Scottish hills?
Corbetts and Grahams aren't in the app yet, but they are planned. For now you can follow the Munros alongside other UK lists (the National Three Peaks) and challenges from Spain, France and beyond.
How are summits validated?
The app runs on trust: you log your own ascents with a photo and date. There's no mandatory GPS check or external validation. It's a personal tracking tool, not an official competition.
Cims, sempre amunt is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Scottish Mountaineering Club or any federation.
