The Questions.
Everything you need to know about summittracker.net
How do I set my initial summit count?
When you first connect your Strava account, you'll be redirected to a success page where you can enter your "Lifetime Baseline." This sets your starting point for all-time counting.
What is the 80% Descent Rule?
To prevent double-counting summits during a single session (like doing loops), our algorithm requires you to descend at least 80% of the elevation before a second ascent is counted. This ensures only full Mission Peak laps are tracked.
How do I fix the ⚠️ Action Required badge?
This badge appears if your Strava connection has expired or been revoked. Simply click the "Connect with Strava" button on the home page and log in again to sync your latest data.
Can I manually override or fix a count?
Yes. If a summit was missed or incorrectly counted, simply edit the activity name on Strava to include "Summit #XXX" (e.g., "Triple Peak Challenge #450"). Our system will prioritize any count found in your activity title.
Are there limits to how much I can sync?
We respect Strava's API rate limits to ensure platform stability. Background syncs may take a few moments during peak times, but your data is always queued for processing.
What is SOTA Discovery?
Summits On The Air (SOTA) is an award scheme for radio amateurs that encourages portable operation in mountainous areas. When enabled, our "SOTA Discovery" feature scans your route for any of the 150,000+ registered SOTA summits worldwide. If you pass through one or more summit zones, we'll automatically add the summit references and point values to your Strava activity description.
