Admittedly rating summits is subjective analysis. Please take my ratings with a grain of salt. Perhaps the most worthwhile objective information you might take away from this list is that a “no star” rating is a summit that is a one-off for me. A summit that I would not return to. The rest is how I feel about the drive, the hike, the view and the specific conditions that I experienced on the day that I was there: my physical state of being, my mindset, the weather and traffic. Obviously your mileage may vary on all that.
