The SOTA Uniques is a count of the number of different summits in a chaser's or SWL's record. It is purely the number of distinct summits chased regardless of SOTA points. The SOTA Online Database keeps track of your progress. Certificates are available for the usual thresholds of 100, 250, 500 and 1000. It is felt that this award will extend the challenge particularly for our leading chasers, where point scores are large and well beyond Shack Sloth, but often with less than 200 unique summits. It also addresses something that chasers have been doing since the launch of the programme - counting their unique summits worked . The same awards are available in the SWL section. It is possible to obtain a Shack Sloth Trophy for contacting 1000 Unique Summits; these trophies are identical to the standard SS trophy but have the word "Unique" engraved into the design.
