While it would be possible to go nuts and list every named saddle between two peaks, this list should confine itself to passes that have some sort of significance, whether as a trade route, tourist access, military strongpoint, etc. Passes with insufficient info for an article longer than one sentence should not make the cut for this list.

[edit] A big list

A friend found this list: Named Paved Road Passes/Summits - highest elevation first. It would be worth going over it. Without that link, I wasn't able to determine the highest paved road in North America.

[edit] What about South London's Cols

I think there should be a list of the locations of the cols of South London as they are important to the topology of the South London area, especially the more urban or suburban areas. I do not think a list with the word "mountain" would be important for this. There are no mountains in England. When I looked up "Col" I found "Moutain pass". 87.194.35.230 08:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
