south beyond 6000
Here is a list of peaks above 6000 feet in the NC and TN area. The only other peak on the east coast which is over 6000 feet is Mount Washington in NH which is 6288 feet above sea level. The South Beyond 6000 club is for all those who have bagged all of these peaks. Here is their website. This list is from Cutters Blog here, but I think he wont mind me using it to keep track of my own expeditions. There is also a useful listing of the tallest mountains on the east coast here that includes topos and more for each of the peaks. Here is another site that lists them all.
