If you combine the words with the heights, SOTA points, and maybe some random symbols, you’ll be sure to get a pretty unique and strong password.
If you prefer to follow NCSC guidance, you can make some nice passphrases too;

Take a look here to see how strong your made up password is: Password Strength Meter (passwordmonster.com)
And if you want to check if your chosen password is already on a list of known breached passwords, then this is an interesting site: Have I Been Pwned: Pwned Passwords
You can check if your email address has been breached at the same site: Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach

We use NCSC for our DNS lookups across the estate.
With the a combo of all of the mentioned items it would be a really secure password.
Feedback was’nt great from the first person who got a GM hill name with a combo of Upper case, numbers and ! $%$ etc.

Working through the fission product element symbols and atomic numbers on a nucleide chart has kept me in passwords for a while, even though I have to change them every three months.

But if you’ve just told people your strategy on a public forum they only have to guess from the 1218 Scottish Marilyns which should be eminently achievable in a human lifetime…

And work out which users to ‘brute force’ and where I work and what OS to attack.
All doable with enough time…
