It's mount Richter apparently!

😂

No need for apology, tango; you voted with over an hour to spare.

Thanks for the 40 entries from 13 setters. 20 clues attracted at least one vote.
1: paul@4, paul@5, mprs@8, mprs@15, paul@16, spike2@27,
dorrien@35
2: spike2@40, spike2@33
4: dorrien@20, tango@30, tyke51@31
5: buddy@6, mattrom@22, faiton@24, jono@29
6: tyke51@12
9: aristophanes@37 (in 3rd place)

Now, before the last vote aristo@37 and mprs@18 were tied first on 9 with aristo winning the tiebreak, if I have interpreted it correctly. But with a final burst buddy@34 came through to tie first with mprs@18 now both on 10 votes.

The tiebreak: mprs@18 got 5x=1sts and 1 3rd; buddy@34 got 4x=1sts and 1 outright first, so by my reckoning gets the win, but maybe mathprof will come up with a quadratic equation to prove otherwise.

Congratulations, buddy. Was it you who invented this voting system? It has paid off handsomely. Here's your prize:

Curses! I knew i'd forget something. Buddy's winning clue:

Climbing is frightening when switching hands (5)

On international Pi day (3.14) an appropriately mathematical resolution.
Congrats Buddy, cheers Paul and thanks to Faiton and Jimmy for votes.

Congratulations, Buddy. Commiserations, Mprs and to Aristo, so close again.
Thanks for hosting, PaulH.

Big thanks to Aristo, Mattrom and Paul for the votes. Always appreciated.

Congrats buddy and thanks paulH.

Congratulations to my compatriot buddy, and thanks to paulh for hosting and to buddy, jono, mattrom, dorrien, and spike for your coveted votes.

Did not see that coming. Dang, mathprof, I went back and forth over whether to give your 15 or 18 my last vote. I chose incorrectly.

Thanks to all who voted for me, and thanks to paulh for the terrifying clip. I kind of assumed no one was going to fall, but still....

Well done to both buddy (and mprs), and thanks to yourself, tyke and paul for your votes :-)
Thanks also to our host, paulh for the challenge and the heart-stopping clips.

Tango, can I be nosy and ask where you are located?
