Among mountain climbers, a peak needs to meet certain criteria in order to be included in some lists. To be listed as an independent peak a summit must have of clean prominence. A reliable source gives Mount Muir's clean prominence as 298feet, and so the peak does not qualify for lists of fourteeners based on elevation and prominence. It is included in other lists which do not depend on prominence. Some lists are based on more subjective criteria, and Mount Muir is included in the Sierra Peaks Section list, the Western States Climbers list, and the Vulgarian Ramblers 13,800-Footers of the Contiguous USA list.
